Darkly droll cartoons expose moral blind spots

This English translation of Forðist okkur pairs pictures with stories. Dagsson examines human cruelty, confused values, and moral apathy. Its publishing rights have sold internationally, with cartoons acquired by The Guardian.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An English translation of the book Forðist okkur that made such an impression when it came out. The publishing rights have since been sold to many countries and The Guardian bought the rights to the cartoons. With his pictures and stories Hugleikur succeeds in his droll and influential style in directing our gaze to many kinds of evils in human interaction, confused values, dangerous moral apathy and indifference.
