This novel was a revelation for me.
When I stumbled upon this for the first time, I couldn't tear myself away from it. I read it in class. On the bus. While walking down the street. Late at night. It dominated my thoughts for weeks, lingered for months afterwards, and has permanently shaped the way I think about everything.
While not entirely whole (i.e missing significant analysis into the rise of modern medicine), Ishmael provides an incredibly refreshing take on an issue I'd never even thought of before and sheds the world in new light.… (mere)

Ein Lehrer und sein Schüler streiten über den Zustand der Welt. Wie konnte der Mensch das Paradies in eine Hölle verwandeln? Ismael, der Lehrer, weiss eine überraschend andere Geschichte der Evolution zu erzählen. Sie reicht zurück bis an jenen biblischen Tag, da sich der Mensch in mörderischem Bruderstreit zur Krone der Schöpfung machte. – Übrigens, Ismael ist ein Gorilla.
