Couple of years before I read the real Sapiens book. But later on I forgot the events and important points mentioned in that book. When I heard about this graphic version, I was eagerly waiting to buy this one.
My sister presented me this amazing treasure. It was a completely different experience. The author has used illustrations and cartoons to explain the concepts in a very easy way. Even small kids can easily understand the way the author presented this book. It was like a fun ride. I highly recommend, every child should read this book, at least our upcoming generation should have some knowledge about where we actually came from. The importance of knowing our whereabouts will help the future generation to be less racist, they should not fight in the name of caste, color etc.

Sapiens Grafis: Kelahiran Umat Manusia
oleh Yuval Noah Harari

4/5 bintang

Sapiens karya Harari menjadi salah satu buku yang sering kudengar, tapi aku masih belum pernah membacanya. Mungkin aku saja yang malas untuk membaca buku non fiksi. Hehe.

Kemarin, waktu aku scrolling Gramedia Digital, aku tak sengaja menemukan Sapiens Grafis ini. Wah, seru juga nih bisa baca Sapiens dengan berbagai ilustrasi yang menarik! Jadilah aku putuskan untuk membaca buku ini. Lumayan juga sekalian memenuhi tantangan Satu Bulan Satu Buku Nonfiksi dari Kak Wardah.

The Book

Berhubung aku tidak membaca versi panjangnya, aku cukup senang saat membaca versi grafis ini. Penjelasan Harari mengenai sejarah umat manusia bisa dipahami dengan sangat mudah. Selain karena gaya bahasanya sudah disesuaikan, ilustrasinya bagus banget. Jadi, kita enggak akan kesusahan untuk mem-visualisasikan gagasan-gagasan Harari.

Salah satu gagasan yang kutahu dari buku ini adalah bagaimana manusia bisa bertahan hidup dengan menggosip. Jadi, to some extent, saat aku membaca buku ini, aku penasaran pembahasan mengenai hal tersebut akan seperti apa.

This graphic novel adaptation of Harari's book Sapiens, the first of (I believe) four volumes, is okay. While I wasn't in love with the illustration style, I'll likely continue with subsequent volumes because the content is interesting to me, and a periodic information refresher is always welcome. Overall, I'd recommend the full-length book over the graphic novel.

 An interesting look at the rise of homo sapiens. I enjoyed learning about the different species of "homo" that existed before homo sapiens became the only species. 

explains everything in a very easy way! interesting book.
