Synopsis:
A TAUT, SUBTLE AND WORDLESS ALLEGORY ABOUT THE VANITY OF EMPIRE In a barren landscape, an empire is about to rise and an epic struggle is about to unfold. STICKS AND STONES illuminates this earth-shaking tale without a single word. It is as elemental as hieroglyphics, and as powerful as the most ancient of runes, it is a timeless story for all ages In STICKS AND STONES, Peter Kuper has created a picture story of epic proportions. It is an intricate tale of birth and death, war and peace, artfully told without a single word. It chronicles the rise of an empire and the consequences of hubris. This truly is a powerful allegory and a cautionary tale for our present-day world. This silent tale is both a perfect book for children and a potent political commentary for their parents. Thought-provoking, beautiful and sparse, Kuper proves again that he is one of the great master of the wordless comic.
