Sapiens A Graphic History, Volume 1 : The Birth of Humankind

Sapiens A Graphic History, Volume 2 : The Pillars of Civilization

Sapiens A Graphic History, Volume 3 : The Masters of History

Description :

In this first volume of the adaptation of his ground-breaking book, renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human". From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Sapiens. Una historia gráfica - Los pilares de la civilización explica cómo el Homo sapiens pasó de ser una especie nómada a una sedentaria y empezó a trabajar más duro sin mejorar su nivel de vida. Revela cómo el trigo se apoderó del mundo; cómo un improbable matrimonio entre un dios y un burócrata dio lugar a los primeros imperios; cómo la guerra, el hambre, las enfermedades y la desigualdad se convirtieron en parte esencial de la condición humana y por qué solo somos responsables de ello nosotros mismos.

Grab a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth and explore the rise of money, religion and empire.

Will Lady Empire convince us of the irrefutable shaping force of conquerors? Or will Clashwoman beat them all to greatness by reminding us of the endless confrontations that seem to forever plague our species?
