A wise and funny collection of modern-day parables about the ties between humans and their gods. Imagine you are Poseidon at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The oceans are dying and sailors have long since stopped paying tribute. They just don't need you anymore. What do you do? Perhaps, seeking answers, you go exploring. Maybe you end up in Wisconsin and discover the pleasures of the iced latte. And then, perhaps, everything goes wrong. Anders Nilsen, the author of Big Questions and Don't Go Where I Can't Follow, explores questions like these in his newest work, a darkly funny meditation on religion and faith with a modern twist. Rage of Poseidon brings all the philosophical depth of Nilsen's earlier work to bear on contemporary society, asking how a twenty-first-century child might respond to being sacrificed on a mountaintop, and probing the role gods like Venus and Bacchus might have in the world of today. Nilsen works in a unique style for these short stories, distilling individual moments in black silhouette on a spare white background. Above all, though, he immerses us seamlessly in a world where gods and humans are more alike than not, forcing us to recognize the humor in our (and their) desperation. Rage of Poseidon is devastating, insightful, and beautifully hewn; it's a wry triumph in an all-new style from a masterful artist.

"In this collection of letters, drawings, and photos, Anders Nilsen chronicles a six-year relationship and the illness that brought it to an end. Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is an eloquent appreciation of the time the author shared with his fiancée, Cheryl Weaver. The story is told using artifacts of the couple's life together, including early love notes, simple and poetic postcards, tales of their travels in written and comics form, journal entries, and drawings done in the hospital in her final days. It concludes with a beautifully rendered account of Weaver's memorial that Glen David Gold, writing in the Los Angeles Times, called '16 panels of beauty and grace.' Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is a deeply personal romance, and a universal reminder of our mortality and the significance of the relationships we build"--From publisher's website.

"This is a book about circular economy (CE) and the fourth industrial revolution (IND 4.0), about their interlinkage and the way their interaction will determine the future of our planet, as the authors of this book assert. Despite the many on-going discussions on both the circular economy and IND 4.0, rarely is it recognized that they are deeply interconnected, and in real life they cannot be discussed separately, and should not be considered to be mutually exclusive"--

Dans une plaine indéfinie et désolée, une colonie d’oiseaux s’interroge sur la routine, le destin et la signification des choses en général, quand un événement imprévu vient troubler leur existence. Au milieu des corneilles, des cygnes, des loups et d’un idiot vivant avec sa vieille mère, un mystérieux «œuf» tombe du ciel. Confrontés à une série d’événements dont la signification leur échappe, les oiseaux sont peu à peu gagnés par l’angoisse et les superstitions les plus invraisemblables. Big Questions fut entamé par Anders Nilsen il y a quinze ans sous la forme d’un simple exercice d’improvisation et poursuivi sous forme de petits comics jusqu’à son dénouement final en 2011. Il nous immerge dans un espace fantasmagorique et beckettien, où le lecteur, fasciné et déstabilisé, est invité à se perdre dans les réflexions métaphysiques d’une bande de moineaux, comme pour mieux réveiller les siennes. Véritable révélation parmi la nouvelle génération des auteurs américains, Anders Nilsen est sans doute celui qui a su le mieux s’affranchir de ses glorieux aînés. Big Questions est la preuve qu’une bande dessinée peut encore nous surprendre, dès lors que l’auteur plonge au fond de lui-même pour en sortir des images dont la singularité et l’étrangeté savent nous troubler.
