Animals in letters
19.99 €
What do animals say when people can't hear? What kind of world will animals create when people disappear entirely?
The bestiary of French artist, graphic designer, and cartoonist Nicolas Vial grew out of childhood—from a love of typography inherited from his grandfather and father and a youthful fascination with animal art.
The story, written by Muriel Barbery, author of the international bestseller "The Elegance of the Hedgehog," was born from our everyday lives, which we live without ever regaining consciousness. Animals watch us very closely, but we don't notice. Animals speak about us, but we don't understand. Perhaps animals will remain after us, but we can't imagine such a world. But Muriel Barbery can. It's a dangerous, funny, and still very complex world in which people have somehow disappeared, and animals write their own history.
Before you is the astonishing fruit of collaboration between one of the most intelligent and profound contemporary writers and one of the most original artists. The art book "Animals in Letters" is a cross between "Alice in Wonderland" and Plato, "Watership Down" woven with La Fontaine, a laconic fairy tale, a profound parable, and an exhibition you stumble upon casually and casually, and then find yourself unable to leave for half a day, recommending it to all your friends and acquaintances. Eyes follow us, watching us intently every day. After we disappear, voices we've grown accustomed to ignoring resound.
