ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
This third volume of the illustrated adaptation of the internationally bestselling phenomenon, Sapiens: A Graphic History-The Masters of History, tackles the question of the driving force of humanity's fate: is it empire, money, religion-or something else entirely-that unites us?
Sometimes history seems like a laundry list of malevolent monarchs, pompous presidents, and dastardly dictators. But are they really the ones in the driving seat? Sapiens: A Graphic History-The Masters of History takes us on an immersive and hilarious ride through the human past to discover the forces that change our world, bring us together, and just as often... tear us apart.
Grab a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth, and explore the rise of money, religion, and empire. Join our fabulous host Heroda Tush, as she wonders: Which historical superhero will display the power to make civilizations rise and fall? Will Mr. Random prove that luck and circumstance prevail? 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?
In this next volume of the bestselling graphic series, Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave continue to present the complicated story of humankind with wit, empathy, and originality. Alongside the unlikely cast of new characters, we are rejoined by the familiar faces of Yuval, Zoe, Professor Saraswati, Bill and Cindy (now Romans), Skyman and Captain Dollar. As they travel through time, space, and human drama in search of truth, it's impossible not to wonder: why can't we all just get along?
This third installment in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series is an engaging, insightful, and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for curious minds of all ages, and can be browsed through on its own or read in sequence with Volumes One and Two.
