Speechless

Can you tell the story of the history of the world without using words? Artist Polyp thinks so, and to prove it he’s produced a truly international book. Using pictograms and icons instead of words, Speechless manages to simplify and encapsulate the horrific history of humanity without dumbing it down. Jointly published by Friends of the Earth and the New Internationalist, it’s a left-leaning political look at our history expertly crammed into 100 pages.
