Acqua Alta
The adventures of a little tourist in the fantastic Venezia, a silent comic book
by Nik Neves (author)
Description
Acqua Alta is a silent comic book created during a trip to Venice, where the author Nik Neves drew the places he wandered through. There, he imagined a little girl in the scenes, living adventures that can be enjoyed by kids, their parents and everybody that likes Venice and getting lost while traveling. The little character detaches herself from her tourist group and wanders through less touristic places in The Floating City: the "Calle della Morte," a mysterious palace, cruise ships, a dead dove in the center of the Campo. The second edition of Acqua Alta will premiere at the International Frankfurt Book Fair. It includes a presentation in portuguese/english by the author, is printed in two special colors (petrol green and brick red) on special paper, has patterned endpapers, handmade bookbinding and carton cover.
