Behind the static, routine moments of everyday life something bigger takes shape. A flash of encroaching death starts to consume the husband, leading to visions and questions. This graphic novel from cartoonist Tommi Musturi is a thoughtful exploration of the human condition, and the series of mostly quotidian moments that make up most of our lives. The strong presence of silence and nature reflect the arctic exotica of Musturi’s native Finland, but with a relatability, eloquence, and economy that will remind American readers of Chris Ware’s \u003ci\u003eJimmy Corrigan\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is a humane book filled with timeless humor and life itself.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBorn in 1975, \u003cb\u003eTommi Musturi\u003c\/b\u003e is a Finnish cartoonist, illustrator, graphic designer, and artist. In addition to his current ongoing series \u003ci\u003eWalking with Samuel\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Books of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e, Musturi contributes to the studio Kutikuti based out of Helsinki, which creates, publishes, and teaches comic art. Seeing that there was an unmet demand, Musturi co-founded Huuda Huuda in 2006 to translate international comics into Finnish, publish local comic artists, and get the word out about the vibrant Finnish scene by anthologizing the work in English. Musturi currently resides in Tampere, Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556090957985,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781606998779","price":44.64,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781606998779.jpg?v=1781804959","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-book-of-hope-hardcover-by-tommi-musturi","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
