There are so many great works together, also he writes in a great style, the reader of this book can became like a sponge which wants to be soaked with every information one can get from.
Just to mention some of them: Frans Masereel, a Belgian artist. His work by title: La Passion d`un Homme, published in 1918 is a story about battle of human against machine, against the Western industrialization. As we know from the title of the Berona`s book these stories are all wordless, all stories told just by pictures. (Berona, 2008. p. 15)
After one year he came out with an other story told in 25 woodcuts by title "Passionate journey".
I would like to mention my other favorite from this book who is a Hungarian artist by name Istvan Szegedi Szuts who was born in Budapest in 1892 and immigrated to England in 1929 where he published his only wordless book. This book is composed of pen-and-ink drawings. He is telling a story about a Huszar (Hungarian cavalryman) whose name is Iskos. He gives a title to each page to make better understandable the story. The title of the book is My War. (Berona, 2008. p. 177)
His lines are unusual, little bit similar with Japanese ink-works, "R.H. Mottram states that Szuts is one of the chroniclers of a fundamental change in human nature." (Berona, 2008. p. 177)

He is able to express very intense feelings just by applying few lines:
