The Arrival

Description

‘The Arrival is an absolute wonder. It’s not often you see art of this quality, or a book that’s so brave.’ – Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis

What drives so many to leave everything behind and journey alone to a mysterious country, a place without family or friends, where everything is nameless and the future is unknown.

This silent graphic novel is the story of every migrant, every refugee, every displaced person, and a tribute to all those who have made the journey.

‘It will fascinate and occupy adults and children alike’ – The Observer

‘The reader’s experience, as he or she tries to make sense of the unfamiliar scenes and strange images, parallels that of the emigrant, striving to understand without the aid of language. This extraordinarily accomplished pieces of storytelling can be read and understood on many different levels.’ – The Guardian
