Este libro no es una auténtica enciclopedia. Es una obra épica de ficción que nos lleva tras los pasos, los relatos y las aventuras de un narrador solitario en su búsqueda del conocimiento y del amor verdadero. Una obra que contiene multitud de historias, grandes y pequeñas, sobre dioses y monstruos, reyes locos, ancianas y brujas sabias, chamanes, hombres medicina, familias polares, hermanos y hermanas, y sobre los conflictos que se generan entre ellos, el misterio, la mala ciencia, la peor geografía y ¿hemos mencionado ya el amor verdadero?
Before our history began, another -- now forgotten -- civilization thrived. The people who roamed Early Earth were much like us: curious, emotional, funny, ambitious, and vulnerable. In this series of illustrated and linked tales, Isabel Greenberg chronicles the explorations of a young man as he paddles from his home in the North Pole to the South Pole. There, he meets his true love, but their romance is ill-fated. Early Earth's unusual and finicky polarity means the lovers can never touch. As intricate and richly imagined as the work of Chris Ware, and leavened with a dry wit that rivals Kate Beaton's in Hark! A Vagrant, Isabel Greenberg's debut will be a welcome addition to the thriving graphic novel genre.
