What drives so many to leave everything behind and journey alone to a mysterious country, a place without family or friends, where everything is nameless and the future is unknown. This silent graphic novel is the story of every migrant, every refugee, every displaced person, and a tribute to all those who have made the journey. THE ARRIVAL has become one of the most critically acclaimed books of recent years, a wordless masterpiece that describes a world beyond any familiar time or place. Sited as No 35 in The Times 100 Best Books of all time. "An imaginative triumph. Every home should have one." - The Times "It will fascinate and occupy adults and children alike." - The Observer Read more about The Arrival at www.thearrival.com.au Find out more about Shaun Tan at http://www.shauntan.net
