The City by Frans Masereel

This graphic novel by an Expressionist master offers a stunning depiction of urban Europe between the world wars. First published in Germany in 1925, it presents 100 woodcuts of remarkable force and beauty that depict scenes of work and leisure, wealth and deprivation, and joy and loneliness.
Frans Masereel was an acclaimed Belgian painter and one of the most recognized woodcut artists of the 20th century. He illustrated the works of such literary greats as Oscar Wilde, Emile Zola, and Leo Tolstoy, but his wordless graphic novels are considered to be his greatest legacy.
