Alma M. Karlin #[nn]

Published by Bahoe Books in 2020, this German-language graphic biography brings to life the extraordinary world traveler Alma M. Karlin — "Weltbürgerin aus der Provinz" (Citizen of the World from the Provinces). Jakob Klemenčič's cover art sets the tone beautifully: a lone figure sits atop a seaside wall, notebook in hand, gazing out over shimmering water, while below a bustling colonial harbor scene unfolds with crowds, archways, and palm trees that hint at far-flung destinations. It's a quietly compelling invitation into the story of a woman who carried her curiosity to the ends of the earth.
