Capital by Afonso Cruz

Award-winning Portuguese artist Afonso Cruz brings us this satirical, wordless, cautionary tale about the power of capital. A boy is given a piggy bank, and grows up feeding it coins as it sits on his bedside table. The piggy bank begins to grow as the boy becomes a man, filled with amazing profits. However, as the years go by, its greediness becomes harder to control, until soon it's become an out-of-proportion, unstoppable menace.

Afonso Cruz is a multi-award-winning author and illustrator from Portugal. He was born in the Portuguese town of Figueira da Foz and has traveled to over sixty countries. He is the author of a dozen works, for which he has received the Camilo Castelo Branco Grand Prize, the European Union Prize for Literary, and the Portuguese Society for Writers Literature Award. Afonso is also an animated film director and a member of the band The Soaked Lamb, as well as having a monthly column, Parallax, in the arts weekly Jornal de Letras, Artes e Ideias.
