Book from the ground : from point to point /

Following his classic work Book from the Sky, world-renowned Chineses artist Xu Bing presents a new graphic novel - one composed entierely of symbols and icons. Xu Bing spent seven years gathering materials, experimenting, revising, and arranging thousands of pictograms to construct this narrative. The result is a readable story without words recording 24 hours in the day of the life of a typical urban white-collar worker. Using an exclusively visual language, the text could be published anywhere without a translation; anyone with experience in contemporary life can read it. -- Contracubierta.
