A man is found dead in an escape tunnel in an Italian
prisoner-of-war camp. Did he die in an accidental collapse - or was
this murder? Captain Henry `Cuckoo' Goyles, master tunneller and
amateur detective, takes up the case. This classic locked-room
mystery with a closed circle of suspects is woven together with a
thrilling story of escape from the camp, as the Second World War
nears its endgame and the British prisoners prepare to flee into
the Italian countryside.
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 civilisations 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 instalment in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series is an
engaging, insightful, and colourful 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.
