Berlin 1936... Der japanische Student Isao Toge wird während der Olympischen Spiele in Berlin ermordet. Unter seinen Fingernägeln finden sich Spuren von Gips. Kobe 1936... Die junge Geisha Kinuko wird in einem Waldstück erwürgt aufgefunden. An ihren Händen ebenfalls Gipsspuren. Welcher Zusammenhang besteht zwischen den beiden Verbrechen? Sohei Toge, in Berlin als Sportjournalist tätig, macht sich auf die Suche nach den Mördern seines Bruders und gerät zwischen die Fronten deutscher und alliierter Geheimdienste. Denn die verfolgen die Spur eines brisanten Dokuments zur Herkunft Adolf Hitlers, das in einer Gipsbüste versteckt war...
Osamu Tezuka entwirft aus historischen Fakten und spannender Fiktion einen rasanten Spionagethriller, in dem sich die Schicksale dreier Männer namens Adolf auf dramatische Weise verknüpfen.
Dr. Osamu Tezuka (手塚治虫) was a Japanese manga artist, animator, producer and medical doctor, although he never practiced medicine. Born in Osaka Prefecture, he is best known as the creator of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion. He is often credited as the "Father of Anime", and is often considered the Japanese equivalent to Walt Disney, who served as a major inspiration during his formative years. His prolific output, pioneering techniques, and innovative redefinitions of genres earned him such titles as "the father of manga" and "the God of Manga."
Honestly, I do not think I will like Osamu Tezuka's horror works. Hitler conspiracy theories are boring to me, but I hoped it would be interesting. Also, again, rape and murder during sex fantasies. If it is in multiple books, it is a pattern, and it is nothing I would like to see.
I read both books in one go (it is massive, but luckily there is not that much text to read) and will share this surface level review for both. I really don't want to get to the nitty-gritty because I did that with another book, and it came down to boring, don't like the style or story.
Dinamičnim crtežom ispričana priča trojice Adolfa u osvit II svijetskog rata. Priča se odvija u Njemačkoj i Japanu i kroz priču o ubojstvu i tajnim dokumentima oslikava atmosferu paranoje i masovne histerije pod militarističkom diktaturom gdje domovina predstavlja alibi za sve vrste zločina.
