90 CLASSIC BOOKS FOR PEOPLE IN A HURRY by Nicotext (illustrated by Henrik Lange and text by Thomas Wengelewski)
An illustrated synopsis of the greatest books in the world.
This is a book about the greatest books in the world. In four illustrated squares with short, witty texts, we give you the lowdown on every classic book you should have read. Sort of like a distilled novel.
90 CLASSIC BOOKS FOR PEOPLE IN A HURRY is the ultimate solution for those without the time or inclination to wade through Gulliver's Travels, Pride and Prejudice or The Great Gatsby. We give you A Clockwork Orange in a four-panel comic. We give you Death of a Salesman in five amusing sentences. We give you dinner party credibility quicker than you can say The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha.
Cleverly illustrated, this book is an entertaining addition to any bookshelf, coffee table or nightstand. Read this, and the next time someone mentions Naked Lunch, you won't say, "Yes please".
Great for people in a hurry or just anyone who likes books.
“This collection of humorous cartoons uses the four panel grid to provide Cliffs Notes crack: a super-rush of literary info in no time flat….The book selection includes a nice mix of warhorse classics and more modern fare—A Confederacy of Dunces and American Psycho—as well as genre favorites—The Lord of the Rings and Watchmen…. The cute and amusing cartoons use a scratchy style reminiscent of a less polished Ivan Brunetti or Johnny Ryan. The rhythm of the four panels makes this a tough book to put down.” --Publishers Weekly
