Highly recommended for anyone who's into Visual narratives . It has a vintage old look ( wrinkleed pages, stains, stretched leather) that gives a feeling of owning a piece of a world that was in the past yet the narrative is beyond its time. Your pre conceived notions on immigration will have a different perspective. The nature of it being a silent graphic novel, gives the readers an experience of being in an unsettling, unfamiliar, and strange place and struggling to communicate without the aid of any language. Review: Iam left speechless with the beauty of this book - What is life if we cant experience art of this much quality at least once? Then we suddenly understand yes, these beautiful art moments make life worth living it. The story depicted in this book tries to define a life that has seen and met other lives which went through misery, hardships, poverty and even downright horror, but what makes those lives still worth living for... What an artist Shaun tan is, while giving the account of few of those lives, he takes you through the immigration history, being a newcomer in a place full of strange cultures, humanity, friendship, companionship, family but ultimately our own isolation, day to day adventures and simple joys of life. And all this achieved not even using one word but with breathtaking illustrations. Don't miss this book. Cant stop reading all over again many times. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,908 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Children's Books on Emigrants, Immigrants and Refugees #34 in Children's Historical Fiction (Books) #137 in Children's Family, Personal & Social Issues (Books) | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,353) | | Dimensions | 17.3 x 1.3 x 23 cm | | Generic Name | Book | | ISBN-10 | 0734415869 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0734415868 | | Importer | Hachette India | | Item Weight | 366 g | | Language | English | | Net Quantity | 750.00 Grams | | Packer | Hachette India | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | 2 October 2014 | | Publisher | Hodder Children's Books | | Reading age | 6 - 8 years | ## Images ![THE ARRIVAL - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1pmflTpApL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visual Narrative must have *by P***O on 15 May 2021* Beautifully illustrated silent graphic novel.
