About this product
Product Information
From cult graphic designer Stanley Donwood, a starkly beautiful graphic novel about the end of the world. A wild seascape, a distant island, a full moon. Gradually the island grows nearer until we land on a primeval wilderness, rich in vegetation and huge, strange beasts. Time passes and man appears, with clubs, with spears, with crueller weapons still - and things do not go well for the wilderness. Civilisation rises as towers of stone and metal and smoke, choking the undergrowth and the creatures that once moved through it. This is not a happy story and it will not have a happy ending. Working in his distinctive, monochromatic linocut style, Stanley Donwood carves out a mesmerising, stark parable on environmentalism and the history of humankind.Product Identifiers

Stark, but beautiful graphic novel.
The book a is a graphic novel by Stanley Donwood, in a stark black and white lino cut style. It tells of human influence on the environment, and mankind's warring tendencies. It not really for young kids, but it is thought provoking. I brought a hardback used copy at a very good price. Yes, it can be 'read' very quickly if desired, but it is a book worth keeping for Stanley's visual narrative alone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

AMAZING BOOK!!!
I am obsessed with Radiohead so when I saw that Stanley had made his own book of art I was very excited. It’s a fantastic book of Lino style artwork that has clearly taken a lot of time and patience! The story itself is beautifully told through each piece and even made me cry at the end, very emotionally well done. I would highly recommended this book to lovers of Radiohead, Stanley Donwood or anyone who likes some alternative art in general!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
