About this deal

Sapiens: A Graphic History is an epic, radical adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s bestselling book into a graphic novel series; bursting with wit, humor, pop culture references and colourful illustrations. Harari (as co-writer) has teamed up with renowned comics artists, David Vandermeulen (co-writer) and Daniel Casanave (illustrator), to retell the story of humankind in a way that will captivate all adults and young adults – including those who don’t usually read science and history books. Como en el primer volumen, acá hay menciones a la cultura popular regadas por varios sitios. Ellas mismas son un deleite y engalana muy bien una obra sobre la historia de la única especie —por ahora— que es capaz de hacer obras de arte, escribir libros y construir grandes estructuras con fines no habitacionales. De los acá presentes los que más me gustaron fueron la aparición de Kafka, que durante un tramo de la narración hace de abogado de Yuval, el cual no parece darse cuenta de quién es él y una corta, pero muy contundente alusión a El Señor de los Anillos. To make the topic transit successfully from text to graphic, many interesting characters have been added to the narration. This serves the purpose aptly as the storyline doesn't become monotonous or too intense for younger readers. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?

However, I did learn a lot, and I learned that while researchers know an awful lot, there is an awful lot they don't know as well. The Unification of Humankind (c. 34 CE, the gradual consolidation of human political organizations towards globalization).Anthropologist Christopher Robert Hallpike reviewed the book and did not find any "serious contribution to knowledge". Hallpike suggested that "...whenever his facts are broadly correct they are not new, and whenever he tries to strike out on his own he often gets things wrong, sometimes seriously". He considered it an infotainment publishing event offering a "wild intellectual ride across the landscape of history, dotted with sensational displays of speculation, and ending with blood-curdling predictions about human destiny." [23] I definitely was not a fan of the artwork, although that might be polished up by the time this thing actually hits the shelves. Vandermeulen, a Belgian author and illustrator based in Brussels, said: "Thanks to the existence of graphic novels, Yuval Noah Harari’s ideas will appear even clearer. Working with Yuval on this great text is a challenge and an honor." Whether to share it with your children or not is an individual choice, and there's no right or wrong age for this. After all, these decisions can't be standardised and depend on the age, reading level, comprehension level, and exposure of the kids to such topics. But I hope this post has made things a bit easier for you in taking that decision.

The original Hebrew publication was first issued in 2011 as קיצור תולדות האנושות [ Ḳitsur toldot ha-enoshut], which translates into A Brief History of Humankind.

The "paradox of plenty": the way that the transition from nomadic to primary agricultural societies created a vicious cycle whereby humans had more children, so had to produce ever more food, requiring more workers and so on. There is nudity in the illustrations. Nothing vulgar. Just that in a couple of panels, the pubic area of human males and females is depicted. There are some panels with breasts shown. Buku ini sangat cocok untuk pembaca yang tidak terbiasa membaca buku non fiksi, atau genre sejarah. Saya dari dulu anti dengan mata pelajaran sejarah, namun buku ini berhasil membuat saya menikmati proses saya memahami sejarah kelahiran umat manusia. Bravo untuk penulis, ilustrator, penerjemah, penyunting, dan segenap tim yang berhasil mendatangkan buku ini di tangan saya (termasuk juga pacar saya, yang bukunya ini saya pinjam)! In discussing the unification of humankind, Harari argues that over its history, the trend for Sapiens has increasingly been towards political and economic interdependence. For centuries, the majority of humans lived in empires, and capitalist globalization is effectively producing one, global empire. Harari argues that money, empires, and universal religions are the principal drivers of this process.

The new instalment sees Harari travel “the length and breadth of human history to investigate how the Agricultural Revolution changed society forever”, Vintage said. “Readers discover how wheat took over the world, how war, famine, disease and inequality became a part of the human condition, and why we might only have ourselves to blame.

Saya perlu memberi kredit pada penerjemah dan penyunting buku ini, Damaring Tyas W. Palar dan Andya Primanda. Salah satu judul bab dalam buku ini, "maestro fiksi", yang kemudian menjadi bab favorit saya, menjadi amat jenius menurut saya karena penggunaan kata "maestro" dibanding menerjemahkan langsung dari bahasa inggrisnya, "master of fiction". Kata 'maestro' dalam KBBI berarti 'orang yang ahli dalam bidang seni', dan buat saya pribadi memberi makna 'pencipta'. Ditambah dengan 'fiksi', menandakan sapiens sebagai ahli dan pencipta dari hasil karya berupa 'fiksi' yang dianggap seni oleh tim penerjemah. Gates, Bill (2016-05-20).
