Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 – The Pillars of Civilization by Yuval Noah Harari

National Bestseller • A brilliant visual adaptation of the global phenomenon

Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume 2 continues the dynamic retelling of Yuval Noah Harari’s groundbreaking bestseller. This vivid, full-color edition dives into the Agricultural Revolution—the turning point that transformed humanity from nomadic foragers into settlers… and introduced the inequalities, plagues, and power structures that still define society today.

With trademark wit and originality, Harari and his team reimagine human history through illustrated adventures, comic panels, and historical cameos. Expect appearances by Confucius, King Hammurabi, Thomas Jefferson, and even John Lennon as the book explores how humans built cities, created empires, and lost control of their own inventions.

Topics include:

• How wheat domesticated humans—not the other way around
• The rise of bureaucracy and religion as tools of power
• The roots of war, class division, and systemic inequality

Perfect for: Visual learners, young adults, graphic novel fans, and readers of all ages who want to explore big ideas through bold storytelling.
