Publisher's Synopsis
Hans, the simpleton, continually exchanges his meagre possessions until he has nothing to give away. Is that a good fate or a bad one? Spanish artist Maguma re-interprets this tale of greed and need for our times through two parallel visual narratives, one set in times past and the other in the present. Yet this is no simple linear taletelling. Both past and present appear tinged with avarice and contentment, evil and innocence.
