El esperado segundo volumen del cómic de Sapiens.

Qué sucedería si los humanos, doce mil años atrás, hubiésemos caído en una trampa de la que no hemos sido capaces de escapar?

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.

Desolador? No con este elenco de divertidos personajes que continúan con el increíble viaje emprendido en el primer volumen. Yuval, Zoe, la profesora Saraswati, Cindy y Bill el Troglodita, la detective López y la Doctora Ficción recorren nuestra historia para investigar cómo la revolución agrícola cambió la sociedad para siempre. El astuto Mephisto nos muestra cómo engatusar a los humanos con plantas, cómo el rey Hammurabi establece la ley y cuál es la receta de Confucio para lograr una sociedad harmoniosa. Los orígenes de la agricultura moderna se cuentan a través de la tragedia isabelina, la fortuna variable de las plantas y los animales domesticados se rastrean en las columnas del Daily Business News, y la historia de la desigualdad se narra como si se tratase de una novela de detectives súperhéroes.

Esta novela gráfica constituye el segundo volumen de la adaptación radical, ingeniosa y colorida de Sapiens. Una breve historia de la humanidad, que ha vendido más de 18,5 millones de ejemplares en sesenta idiomas. Los pilares de la civilización puede leerse como continuación del primer volumen o de forma independiente, y pretende entretener a nuevos lectores y contribuir a explorar las formas en que la biología y la historia nos han definido y nos han ayudado a comprender lo que significa ser «humano .

Si quieres averiguar por qué estamos todos atrapados en los sueños de nuestros ancestros, este es tu libro ideal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This second volume of Sapiens: A Graphic History, the full-color graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's #1 New York Times bestseller, focuses on the Agricultural Revolution--when humans fell into a trap we've yet to escape: working harder and harder with diminishing returns.

What if humanity's major woes--war, plague, famine and inequality--originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy? Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History-The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is 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, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition.

But it's not all doom and gloom with this book's cast of entertaining characters and colorful humorous scenes. Yuval, Zoe, Prof. Saraswati, Cindy and Bill (now farmers), Detective Lopez, and Dr. Fiction, all introduced in Volume 1, once again travel the length and breadth of human history, this time investigating the impact the Agricultural Revolution has had on our species. The cunning Mephisto shows them how to ensnare humans, King Hammurabi lays down the law, and Confucius explains harmonious society. 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 portrayed as a travel brochure, offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China; and the history of inequality unfolds in a superhero detective story; with guest appearances by historical and cultural personalities throughout such as Thomas Jefferson, Scarlett O'Hara, Margaret Thatcher, and John Lennon.
Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 is a radical, witty and colorful retelling of the story of humankind for adults and young adults, and can be read on its own or in sequence with Volume I.
