![]() Gwendolyn’s friends are Leslie ( Jennifer Lotsi), school ghost James ( Kostja Ullmann) and her grandfather as a young man (Bastian Trost). ![]() By now she and Gideon de Villiers ( Jannis Niewöhner) are tender wannabe lovers rather than just colleagues in the art of flying through the centuries (mostly: 1609, 1783, 1912, 1953, and back to the present). Gwendolyn ( Maria Ehrich) is the chosen one in her family to be blessed (or cursed, whatever your point of view) with a magical gift to fly through time to right wrongs. Now they have returned with many of the same actors, and some new ones, for Part II, i.e., Saphirblau. Felix Fuchssteiner and Katharina Schöde achieved a hit with the film version of Rubinrot in 2013. German author Kerstin Gier’s successful trilogy for young adults is Rubinrot (ruby red), Saphirblau (sapphire blue) and Smaragdgrün (emerald green). ![]() Maria Ehrich, Jannis Niewöhner, Peter Simonischek, Josefine Preuß, Veronica Ferres ![]()

While it has been lauded by publications such as Time, Elle, Salon, NPR and reviewers for the beauty of its visual design and epic setting, it has also been criticized for misrepresenting various elements such as sexuality and its depiction of Arabic culture. The book's website describes its concept as a love story and a parable about humanity's relationship to the natural world that explores themes such as the cultural divide between first world countries and third world countries, and the commonality between Christianity and Islam. The 672-page book is set in a fictional Islamic landscape with "fairy-tale imagery", and depicts the relationship between Dodola and Zam, two escaped child slaves, who are torn apart and undergo many transformations as they grow into new names and new bodies, which prove to be obstacles to their love when they later reunite. Habibi is a black-and-white graphic novel by Craig Thompson published by Pantheon in September 2011. ![]() |
