25 images de la passion d’un homme #[nn]

Frans Masereel's *25 images de la Passion d'un homme* is a wordless graphic novel — "un roman sans paroles" — told entirely through bold, expressive woodcut images, and this Les Éditions Martin de Halleux edition brings it to a new generation of readers with a preface by Thomas Ott. The cover woodcut sets the mood immediately: a solitary man, coat open and hand raised to his face in what reads as anguish or exhaustion, stands among stark tree trunks with a city glimpsed faintly in the distance behind him. It's a quietly powerful introduction to Masereel's ability to distill raw human emotion into black-and-white contrasts, and at 18,50 EUR it's an accessible entry point into one of sequential art's most singular voices.
