'One of the greatest European novelists of the century' Sunday
Times Andreas is an alcoholic and a vagrant who lives under a
bridge. Downtrodden, submerged at the bottom of society, he lives a
fortuitous life - dictated by happenstance and the whims of others
- until a run of exceptionally good luck lifts him, briefly, onto a
different plane of existence. First published after Roth's death in
1939, The Legend of the Holy Drinker is haunting and melancholic,
yet filled with empathy. A secular miracle-tale, it is an
unforgettable testament to Roth's lucidity and compassion.
Frans Masereel was one of the greatest woodcut artists of the 20th
century. This graphic novel is considered his masterpiece. A novel
in pictures, we follow our hero from the first bustling frame to
the last haunting image and discover a spirit in quest, existing in
a world of good and evil, love and heartbreak. Includes a wonderful
introduction by Thomas Mann.
This graphic novel by an Expressionist master offers a stunning
depiction of urban Europe between the world wars. First published
in Germany in 1925, it presents 100 woodcuts of remarkable force
and beauty that depict scenes of work and leisure, wealth and
deprivation, and joy and loneliness.
