Sapiens #2

The second volume of the Sapiens graphic novel adaptation brings Yuval Noah Harari's sweeping vision of human civilization to life in illustrated form, with David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave rendering the story for the page. The cover's delicate linework presents a ziggurat and ancient walled city floating on a suspended island, watched over by a winged, staff-bearing deity — a quietly striking image that sets the tone for exploring I pilastri della civiltà ("The Pillars of Civilization"). It's a beautifully composed invitation to revisit big ideas about how humanity built the world we inhabit.
