Stunning designs that are sufficient in themselves

It's been a while that I was eyeing on this comic drawings simply grandiose. What intrigued me the most is that it is no text and that this silent appearance but seemed relatively minor. I say this in the sense that the designs captivate so that the lack of text does not appear glaring. The details brought to the characters, places and imagination make the sumptuous décor: everything is both obvious and suggested. It is extremely impressive what did Shaun Tan!

I read this comic once, very alert to expressions, objects, environment. A second time I traveled with my friend who was quick to see the text that may accompany the images. This alternative approach has been fun because her vision was at times differ from mine. Anyway, the central theme is that of emigration. It follows the journey of a man leaving his wife and child to embark on new land in search of a better world. We follow him in a dream world where strange beasts are the guardian angels, where it travels aboard flying machines of all kinds. And outlines to us another world somewhere a little scary because completely unknown, with new uses, new language, new codes. It's a bit exciting as well as exotic and unsettling.

A real nice BD I advise without hesitation and I could buy as a gift for a friend without problem. Indeed, the drawings in full screen are just gorgeous and I stayed taped a long time!
This gives travel desires and lends to dream more, because in the paper airplanes are capable of springing for themselves!
