Three wordless novels by a master, told in 206 Expressionistic woodcuts: The Sun, a struggle with destiny; The Idea, a concept's triumph over suppression; and Story Without Words, a poignant romance.

Created by the acclaimed wood-engraver Frans Masereel, this inspiring book takes the form of a novel-without-words, its story unfolding through a cycle of woodcuts.

Author George A. Walker draws on his expertise as a woodcut artist to provide insight into the tools and techniques used to create these works of art.

This edited work contains four wordless graphic novels by four great 20th century woodcut artists: Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward, Giacomo Patri and Laurence Hyde.
