Sapiens A Graphic History, Volume 1

Shortly before the pandemic, I read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It's not an exaggeration to say I've thought of it every day since.

Curtis Sittenfeld, Guardian

[Sapiens] has been one of the most spectacular publishing successes of the past decade.

Killian Fox, Observer

The best-selling book by Yuval Noah Harari has been beautifully adapted into a graphic novel just in time for Christmas. The story of humankind is told through the delicate illustrations, bringing science and history together to help us understand how Homo sapiens came to inhabit the Earth.

Amy Barrett, BBC Science Focus Magazine

Bringing that fascinating story of our collective history to life in an entirely new way... [Sapiens Graphic Novel is] action-packed... Brilliantly funny.

Jenny Brewer, It's Nice That

Harari's out-of-the-box thinking is arguably his greatest strength... These theories are what moves history forward, and what makes the book so engaging for an astonishing number of people.

Katherine Prentice, Glasgow Guardian

Sapiens is an epic history of humankind, at once readable and wise and compelling and thought-provoking... A breath of fresh air.

Bookmunch

In case there's any household in the nation that doesn't yet own a copy of Yuval Noah Harari's zillion-selling Sapiens...there's now a zippy new digest of the book in comics form... An imaginative and prankish gallop through human prehistory.

Spectator

[A] wonderful graphic novel... Smart, funny and dipped deep in the reality of what we as a species are... Crammed with the details that made the original so jaw-dropping and essential.

Big Issue *Books of the Year*

Lively, engaging... Transforms humanity's complex evolutionary story into something accessible enough for anyone to enjoy.

Perfect for younger readers... [and] filled with lively characters.
