Amphigorey: Fifteen Stories
Le prix d'expédition sera calculé au moment du paiement.
Edward Gorey’s world is impeccably drawn and quietly alarming. Amphigorey collects fifteen of his illustrated stories, bringing together the precise linework, eccentric characters and restrained storytelling that make his work so distinctive.
The attraction lies in the balance between what a picture reveals and what the accompanying words leave unsaid. The absurd can seem entirely ordinary, while an apparently composed scene carries a suggestion of something sinister. Gorey’s dry humour gives these encounters their peculiar rhythm, rewarding readers who pause over the relationship between image and text.
This 240-page paperback is a collection of illustrated storytelling rather than an art-history survey. It suits readers who enjoy Gothic atmosphere, macabre illustration and stories with room for ambiguity. The collected format makes it easy to return to individual tales and revisit their details. A distinctive choice for an art library that values narrative invention as much as the power of a single image.
