Krátky popis
The second volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's
global phenomenon and smash Sunday Times #1 bestseller, with
gorgeous full-colour illustrations and a beautiful package - the
perfect gift for the curious beings in your lifeTwelve thousand
years ago, we humans fell into a trap. Volume II of Sapiens- A
Graphic History tells the story of how wheat took over the world,
how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the
first empires, and how war, famine, disease and inequality became a
part of the human condition. Sound sombre? Not with this cast of
entertaining characters, returning from Volume I to explore the
Agricultural Revolution.Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill
(turned farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction - are all back
to travel the length and breadth of human history.The cunning
Mephisto shows them how to entrap humans, King Hammurabi lays down
the law, and Confucius explains harmonious society. With guest
appearances by Thomas Jefferson, Scarlet O'Hara and Ruth Bader
Ginzburg. And there's plenty more genre-bending to enjoy in this
book.The origins of modern farming are introduced through
Elizabethan tragedy, the changing fortunes of domesticated plants
and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News,
the story of urbanization is told as a travel brochure offering
discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China, while the history
of inequality is scouted out in a superhero detective story. This
graphic series is a radical, witty and colourful retelling of the
story of humankind, adapted from the international bestseller
Sapiens- A Brief History of Humankind, which has sold 18.5 Million
copies in 60 languages worldwide. Volume II can be read as a
standalone book or as a follow-up to Volume I, and is designed to
captivate adults and young adults who don't usually engage with
science and history.If you want to know why we are all trapped
inside the dreams of dead people - this is your ideal reader.
