Edward Gorey – Grossmeister des Kuriosen

A must for all fans of Walter Moers. Absurd, funny, dark, nostalgic, whimsical, grotesque, macabre, malicious, sophisticated – in a word: Goreyesque! This is the world of author, artist, and illustrator Edward Gorey. Gorey's stories are populated by strange animals and peculiar beings, quirky Victorian people in absurd situations, and children whom fate does not always treat kindly – mostly captured in shadowy black and white. On the occasion of the 100th birthday of the cult artist, Walter Moers takes us on a magnificent journey through the artistic cosmos of Edward Gorey, presenting his favorite stories and illustrations. This includes legendary picture stories like "A Harp Without Strings" and "A Questionable Guest," drawings, sketches, and designs, as well as a selection of his most beautiful book illustrations. "Every sentence a gem, every drawing a masterpiece..." Walter Moers.
