Description

How did an insignificant ape become the ruler of planet Earth, capable of splitting the atom, flying to the moon, and manipulating the genetic code of life? Yuval Noah Harari invites us to see the big picture and the crazy side of history – explaining why we are all trapped in the dreams of the dead! Accompanied by a host of world-traveling characters, he becomes our guide on an epic exploration through different continents, eras, and cultures.

Adapted from the global publishing sensation "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" (16 million copies in 60 languages), this brilliantly designed comic series is the product of Harari's collaboration with distinguished comic artists David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave. Witty and funny, full of references to mass culture and free from academic stereotypes, it will captivate not only fans of the phenomenon author but also those who do not usually engage with science and history.

  • Paper quality

  • Was it easy to read?
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • I liked the writing style
  • I would read a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for reading
  • This review is about the add to your collection: Vol. 2: The Foundations of Civilization

    An ideal choice if you want the essence of the book in a much more digestible and easy-to-read version. Particularly imaginative illustration.

    I have read all 3 books by Harari and now I got the illustrated edition. What can I say, I simply feel lucky that in our era we have such an intellectual. Truly, as it was written in a comment above, he changes the way you think. Very good illustrations, it is great that we have popularized science and now science in comics.

    I am 18 years old, I read sapiens when I was in high school and it seemed to me one of the best books I have ever read (although I was quite young at the time and had read many non-fiction books). It is one of those books that change your way of thinking. Of course, I don't know if I would have read the regular book before this period, and the reason I got it and read it was because of a reference in a podcast I was listening to at the time (the feta report, which is about books, technology, and life abroad). Now, the illustrated comic format was really awesome, although I would have preferred a slightly more naturalistic design and less cold colors in some parts. I believe it is a tremendous gift for a teenager, especially in middle school and high school, for people who are a little bored with reading, and surely the person you give it to will remember you for a long time.. That is the only thing for sure!
