Relation Toward Books The Arrival
In a heartbreaking parting, a man gives his wife and daughter a last kiss and boards a steamship to cross the ocean. He's embarking on the most painful yet important journey of his life- he's leaving home to build a better future for his family. Shaun Tan evokes universal aspects of an immigrant's experience through a singular work of the imagination. He does so using brilliantly clear and mesmerizing images. Because the main character can't communicate in words, the book forgoes them too. But while the reader experiences the main character's isolation, he also shares his ultimate joy.Rating About Books The Arrival

Wow, I just loved this one.There were no words in this graphic novel. No dialogs. No written sentences. No words. But, as I realized throughout my read, they werent needed. The mesmerizing art was enough. And what illustrations! Never have I read such a graphic novel before!It was a fast-read. I dont think Ive even spend thirty minutes to get through it. The story was poignant and I loved how realistically it portrayed immigrants and how metaphorically and fantastically the author drew the world-building and settings.It
OH MY GOD!!!!!! This is one of the best books I have ever read! Can I have some more stars to put?! The Arrival is a book without words, a silent book! It has pictures, only pictures and they are mesmerizing! The writer and illustrator, Shaun Tan has done an amazing job. Hats off! His way of conveying emotions of the story to the reader only using pictures is totally out of the world! It is a story of a man who leaves his country to find a better place for his family and ends up in a new place
This is a wondrous and wonderful book. Entirely told in drawings & pictures, not a word at all in the pages, apart from the title on the cover. My first 'graphic novel'. Beautifully designed 'in sepia', a weird and touching story. About a man who leaves his wife and little daughter to emigrate to a new country, to find work and earn a living. But it is no ordinary story, it is full of fantasy images, creatures and weird observations. It seems to be symbolic for people going to another
Honestly one of the all-time best graphic novels I have ever read and considering it's all pictures, no words, just flawless!! The artwork is all pencil style drawings and it focuses on literal and figurative immigration and experiences. Truly an experience in itself to read through and adore. Almost every page was emotional, heartfelt and touching or exciting, vibrant and fresh and there were so many little stories weaved into one that I just couldn't help but to admire it from page one. I was
Indisputably, The Arrival is a stunning wordless graphic novel that will attract readers because of how brilliantly it narrated a story through illustrations. It vividly describes the tale of an immigrant starting in a foreign land: how he struggled with communicating, adjusting to the new culture, the problem on seeking employment, and missing his family.This fiction depicts the true story of some foreigners who chose to leave their love ones, and trying their luck abroad in order to
I found this after a friend recommended it to me. Its the story of a man leaving his country (and family) behind as there are monsters there. He embarks on a journey across the ocean, landing in a fantasy-version of NYC. There, he has to find his bearings, meets all kinds of people, manages to find work to ultimately send money back home that will bring his wife and daughter to him.What makes this story special is that it is told in graphics only. The entire book only shows pictures, no text -
