"Munchausen": the truth is, but everyone has their own!

"What is truth? And what is not true? And where is the difference between them? "Says Dr. ** Sigmund Freud ** to his last patient, Baron Munchausen, in the same graphic novel by Flix. The lion's share of the work for the design of an art book about the well-known writer was done by illustrator Kissel Bernd. Actually, creating a comic ** "Munchausen. The truth about the untruth "**, the creative tandem took care of the pleasure of reading and viewing the book, and also in an unconstrained form made me think about eternal human values.

I remember that as a child, the adventures of the famous ** baron ** were captured. He surprised, attracted attention, intrigued. His fabrications made him fantasize, believe in the possibility of a miracle. Growth as opposed to childishness leads to the search for truth. Although life, apparently, does not really want this, and every time brings up doubts about everything unambiguous.

The story begins with a fragment of the comic strip, snatched from the middle. This is a way to intrigue. Then we are transported to ** London in 1939 **. On the roof of Buckingham Palace, an oddball who speaks German speaks and claims to have visited the Moon. The Royal Intelligence Service wants to find out who he is. A man who is not himself, or ** a phenomenon ** whose knowledge will help the British in the air fight against the enemy? Just at this time in exile in the capital is Dr. Sigmund Freud - the only person who can bring an unexpected guest to clean water ...

Investigative room. By order of the famous Austrian psychoanalyst, they bring a sofa, wine, cigars ... Everything contributes to a frank conversation. The doctor's cold-blooded attitude is mixed with a touch of irony, but also (against the military) is permeated with an understanding, an attempt to understand his unusual patient Erich Burger (** Baron Carl Friedrich Jerome von Munchhausen **) who claims that he is the last representative of his kind:

And what did you do on the moon?
Collected strawberries.
That's enough! Only lie to the servants of the King of England !!!
Sh! Why, when someone tells that the strawberry grows on the moon ... We immediately begin to convince him that it is impossible ... Instead of asking ourselves, why does he resort to such inventions for our attention?

Gradually, before our eyes, the journey opens with the life events of the Baron. It's hard to believe in them, but we strive to deal with everything together with Dr. ** Freud **. It is given is difficult, because Munchausen is very convincing. Dialogues of heroes spiced with rather instructive thoughts:

"Enjoyment from the present can not be felt if you do not understand it ... but you can understand it only by knowing the past."

or:

"But whether you are an atheist or not, you can see only at the last hundred-meter mark. And on the deathbed, the majority still becomes Catholics. "

Also between them it is said that to protest something is partly to recognize it. Quote and quote, but do not prompt what was said. Let it be a ** medical secret ** until the moment of reading.

I note that the book has an age limit of 18-100. Not in vain. The reader will see a bit of humorous comic eroticism. Also on 154 page will meet ** Steve Jobs **. Find out what he can have in common with Dr. Freud.

It is worth mentioning that the author of the text used the onomatopoeic elements (hlip, ekhe, ekhe-he, hee-hee-hee, ha-ha-hahaha-ha-ha, chi-hihihi-hee-hee) and sometimes add certain shades to the characteristics of the characters. A very beautiful font is used. And the color scheme of the drawings varies from black-and-white-gray tones to a variety of colors, when we are shown life on the ** Moon **.

Although I will not reveal any plot twists and turns, but I will note that at the end of the story Dr. Sigmund Freud speaks honestly:

"Rarely what they think is true. As a rule, it is a compromise. There is only one ruler. Here ".

After all, he writes a report. If ** Munchhausen ** we are considered a liar, then on the part of the doctor to convey what he has heard literally means to tell us the truth. My opinion about the situation with the baron: perhaps something from what was said actually happened, but eventually got a lie to protect himself or his actions, which he would rather forget.

** "Munchausen. The truth about untruth ** "- art beech, has the purpose to tell an interesting story, but at the same time to show that everyone has his own understanding of the truth, which can have many shades. Depending on what angle to look at.
