Frans Masereel Reihenfolge der Bücher

Cette Histoire sans paroles n'a ni la guerre, ni la révolution, ni le travail, ni la misère de la masse pour objet, elle raconte l'histoire d'un amour, d'une espèce toute particulière d'amour : celui du jeune homme idéal, intellectuel et imaginatif pour la femme belle et banale. Elle le séduit, elle réveille le rêveur de sa solitude et de sa tranquillité, lui donne l'ardent désir d'aimer...

Three wordless novels by a master, told in 206 Expressionistic woodcuts: The Sun, a struggle with destiny; The Idea, the triumph of an artistic concept over suppression; and Story Without Words, a poignant romance. "So compelling, so deeply felt, so rich in ideas, that one never tires of looking at them." — Thomas Mann

Rare wordless novels by four great 20th-century woodcut artists tell stories that reflect the political and social issues of their times as well as the broader issues that are still relevant today. An Introduction by George A. Walker places each wordless novel in its context and examines the influence of these works on contemporary culture.

These two novels-without-words feature evocative woodcuts that encourage the reader's own imagination to create the story line. Created in the 1920s by the acclaimed wood-engraver Frans Masereel, this unique book contains two picture-novels in one. Flip The Idea upside down, and you can look through Story Without Words. The images in The Idea depict the progress of an idea, in the mysterious form of a woman spirit, as it moves through the world. Story Without Words is a haunting love story rich with symbolism.
