Product Description
...a remarkable and skilful work of art.
(Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times )This book should be 'read' by adults and children alike. It's astonishing.
With this haunting, wordless sequence about a lonely emigrant in a bewildering city, Tan ... finds in the graphic novel format an ideal outlet for his sublime imagination.... few will remain unaffected by this timeless stunner.
Filled with both subtlety and grandeur, the book is a unique work that not only fulfills but also expands the potential of its form.
...an unashamed paean to the immigrant’s spirit, tenacity and guts, perfectly crafted for maximum effect.
(Kirkus Reviews )Tan's lovingly laid out and masterfully rendered tale about the immigrant experience is a documentary magically told by way of Surrealism.
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 and Embroideries )Shaun Tan delivers a shockingly imaginative graphic novel that captures the sense of adventure and wonder that surrounds a new arrival on the shores of a shining new city... The Arrival is one of the best graphic novels of the year!
Entirely wordless, but brimming with sounds and conversations in foreign tongues, Shaun Tan’s book emanates the warmth of faded photographs...
(Craig Thompson, author of Blankets )The Arrival is beautiful... The drawings are just so lovely, endlessly detailed and wonderfully strange. And the design of the book, with it’s wrinkled pages and stains and broken leather is marvellous.
Anyone who thinks that the graphic novel is no more than a flash-in-the-pan phenomenon, ought to take a look at "The Arrival." This magnificent work not only establishes itself in a major new literary genre but raises the stakes for anyone seriously considering working in it.
(David Small, Caldecott Medalist for So You Want To Be President? )Shaun Tan's artwork creates a fantastical, hauntingly familiar atmosphere. A strange, moving, and beautiful story.
Shaun Tan’s The Arrival may be the most brilliant book of the year’
This book should be 'read' by adults and children alike. It's astonishing.
It will fascinate and occupy adults and children alike
A powerful, at times harrowing read, Tan's creation is a major achievement.
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 surreal, sepia illustrations in th is remarkable book invite repeated study. Strangely beautiful and frightening, you can spend hours searching for hidden meanings and extra stories.
A true marvel on any bookshelf, a unique piece of at and a beautifully told story.
