Read as a German exercise, I'm not sure I should count it as I probably understand 60 to 80% ... however I did learn some interesting things about the author of Tintin, if in a scattered and superficial fashion (not unlike Tintin itself).

This is a visually beautiful book that could be a comforting companion for someone who is struggling with chronic illness. Many of the ideas were not new to me but I still found some nuggets to chew on. My favorite statement from a wise old doctor: "The illness is the cure for the cause of the illness." Let's all think about that for a while and maybe reconsider our slash-and-burn approach to all disease. What message are they bringing to us, what potentials for renewal and positive energy do they want us to take up? That's what we can ask ourselves when we stop seeing illness as something merely to be avoided at all costs.
