The Sun (wordless novel)
''The Sun'' ((フランス語:Le Soleil)) is a wordless novel by Flemish artist Frans Masereel (1889–1972), published in 1919. In sixty-three uncaptioned woodcut prints, the book is a contemporary retelling of the Greek myth of Icarus.
Told with high-contast black-and-white art with bold linework, the book's protagonist is a little man who leaps from the imagination of his sleeping creator. The little man repeatedly tries to find his way to the sun, climbing towers, trees, and a staircase of clouds before his success sends him plummeting back to earth—and his creator.
Masereel was the first wordless novelist, and ''The Sun'' followed on the success of Masereel's first works in the genre, ''25 Images of a Man's Passion'' (1918) and ''Passionate Journey'' (1919). A young Lynd Ward read a copy of ''The Sun'' while studying wood engraving in Germany, and the book was an influence of the American artist making wordless novels of his own, beginning in 1929 with ''Gods' Man''.
==Synopsis==
An artist resembling Masereel rests his head on his desk beneath a blazing sun. From his head leaps a small male who, seeing the sun, sets out in pursuit of it, plummeting from the window in his attempt. Crowds of people try to divert him with sex and alcohol, but the little man persists in climbing trees, chimneys, church steeples, masts, and cranes. He climbs a staircase of clouds only to be burned by the sun, sending him hurtling back to the artist's desk, awakening the artist. The artist turns to the reader with a smile, tapping his head.
