SynopsisFrom cult graphic designer and long-time Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood comes a starkly beautiful graphic novel about the end of the world.A wild seascape; a distant island; a full moon. Gradually the island grows nearer until we land on a primeval wilderness; rich in vegetation and huge; strange beasts. Time passes and man appears; with clubs; with spears; with crueller weapons still - and things do not go well for the wilderness. Civilisation rises as towers of stone and metal and smoke; choking the undergrowth and the creatures that once moved through it. This is not a happy story and it will not have a happy ending.Working in his distinctive; monochromatic linocut style; Stanley Donwood carves out a mesmerising; stark parable on environmentalism and the history of humankind.Praise for Stanley Donwood:'I've read lots of his stuff and it's always good and I am in no way biased' Thom Yorke; lead singer of Radiohead
