Produktbeschreibung

THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
*A Financial Times Most Anticipated Book of 2024*

Is this the end of the world? Perhaps not.

In this eye-opening, hopeful and hugely entertaining bestseller, a climate expert takes a leading graphic novelist on a journey to understand the profound changes that our planet is undergoing. The scientist, Jean-Marc Jancovici, walks us through just about everything: from the innermost workings of our minds to toothbrushes, office jobs, and oil; ancient history and modern geopolitics; economics and ecology; the unfolding climate crisis and its consequences for us all. As he describes the world we live in - a world whose future is deeply uncertain - the artist, Christophe Blain, listens and draws.

Coming face to face with global warming, the unlikely duo - along with Mother Nature, Pop Eye and Jiminy Cricket, among others - create a picture of what the solution to our predicament actually looks like. Yes, we have a fossil-fuel problem, but simply switching to renewable energy won't fix it. We can and must rethink everything: our energy supply, our economies and our whole world. They leave us with an inspiring vision of the future in which food, education, housing, transport and communities - in other words, all of us - work together and, with a few technological fixes, succeed in creating a world without end.

"Masterful and unforgettable... A testament to the power of the graphic novel" - Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis

"READ. THIS. BOOK."- Eliza Griswold, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist

"Can a graphic novel save the planet? Perhaps." - Elizabeth Kolbert.

Rezensionen

A word of mouth sensation... book whose alternative title might be: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Climate Change But Were Too Afraid to Ask ... Jancovici [provides] the facts and clever concepts, and Blain the angst, the jokes and the occasional superhero ... This is vital reading: every maison should have one Rachel Cooke Observer
