The Compact Brick Bible: A New Spin on the Old Testament
Autor Brendan Powell Smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 dec 2019
The Holy Bible is complex—sometimes dark, and other times joyous. Now,The Compact Brick Biblecompiles 1,400 photographs of LEGO® sets designed by artist Brendan Powell Smith to illustrate scenes from the Bible’s Old Testament in fascinating, humorous detail. From Genesis and the Earth’s creation to the Books of Kings; from Abraham to Moses, from Samson and Delilah to David and Goliath, thisis the ultimate brick-inspired graphic novel of the Bible for adults.
The beauty of The Compact Brick Bible is that everyone, from the devout to nonbelievers, will find something breathtaking or entertaining within this collection, whether a well-known Bible story classic or an often-forgotten piece of history. Smith’s subtle touch brings out the nuances of each scene and makes you reconsider the way you look at the Bible or LEGOS®—it’s something that needs to be seen to be believed.
