Speechless: world history without words
Speechless is a never-previously attempted work of cartoon magic, condensing the whole of world history into a graphic and completely wordless narrative.
Through this very simple, yet intriguing concept, the reader will experience the intensely real but often ignored political and environmental truths of our era. It's funny, poignant and painfully true.
Published in association with New Internationalist and drawn by cartoonist Polyp, this is a celebration of human resistance, ingenuity and bravery in the face of war, greed and environmental pillage. And the full colour cartoon novel contains a hidden internal book - a further distillation of world history into a penetrating parable.
With its clever use of symbolism, the book is a puzzle in itself, and has already proven to be a catalyst for lively debate. It is therefore also very suitable for use in schools.
Format: 230 mm x 210 mm | 128 pages, colour illustrations, paperback
