    Paperback. Condizione: New. 'The Secret Life of a Cemetery is no maudlin reflection on death and remembrance.With its fox cubs and anecdotes (it) allows us a privileged glimpse of Gallot's world, full of wonder and life.'-The ObserverA cozy and "enchanting" (Guardian) read that will transport you to the world's most famous cemetery where the grounds are ruled by foxes, overgrown flora, and maybe even ghosts.For Benoît Gallot, Père Lachaise is best explored without a guide: You're guaranteed to lose your way. You'll feel as though you've stepped out of time, out of Paris, and into another place entirely. In his debut memoir, Gallot, head curator of Père Lachaise and son of a grave stonemason, pulls back the curtains on his otherworldly workplace-a cemetery crammed with tourists in the high season and mourners year-round, but also a natural paradise, where foxes roam, birds flit between trees, and wildflowers and moss encroach onto tombstones.In elegant, engrossing chapters, Gallot reveals the secret world of Père Lachaise-its Napoleonic origins, its unusual graves and monuments-alongside touching stories from his working life in the cemetery. Born into a family of undertakers, Gallot was named curator of Père-Lachaise in his early-thirties, inheriting the complex job of managing over 40 hectares of green space, overseeing 70,000 graves, and arranging burials and cremations, all while contending with millions of tourists-plus film crews, birdwatchers, ghost hunters, and the occasional nude performance artist. Gallot, who also lives on the cemetery grounds with his wife and young children, demystifies his unusual and often misunderstood profession, which in reality requires much more contact with living people than dead ones. In doing so, he provides insight into the history of graveyards and our evolving relationship with death.Gallot also shares vivid descriptions of flora and fauna, which have reemerged in recent years thanks to a huge rewilding effort. Initially unsure about the idea, he embraced it as the cemetery alleys blossomed and birdsong proliferated. Then in April 2020, with the city in lockdown, Gallot took an early-morning stroll and crossed paths with a fox-in the middle of Paris! He snapped a picture and posted it, unwittingly setting off a media frenzy. Gallot's daily photographs of Père-Lachaise's flourishing animal and plant life have attracted followers from around the world, helping to change the public perception of cemeteries, which ultimately exist as places for the living.A bestseller in France, lauded as 'a superb book . full of humour, empathy, and great sweetness' by the French literary press, The Secret Life of a Cemetery is a life-affirming read that will stand the test of time. Casanave, Daniel (illustratore).…

    Hardback. Condizione: Good. The first volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's global phenomenon and smash SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER. Featuring 256 pages of gorgeous full-colour illustrations and wrapped in a beautiful package. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one-homo sapiens. What happened to the others?And what may happen to us? In this first volume of the adaptation of his ground-breaking book, renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human". From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas. Featuring easy-to-understand text covering the first part of the original edition, this adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing conversation as it introduces Harari's ideas to a wider new readership. '[A] wonderful graphic novel. Smart, funny and dipped deep in the reality of what we as a species are.' Big Issue *Books of the Year*. Casanave, Daniel (illustratore).…

    Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From the head curator of the most famous cemetery in the world a moving and 'enchanting' (Guardian) story about a place where joy, grief, and wild nature converge in unexpected and inspiring ways. 'Not only is this a book that answers, fact for fact, everything you ever wanted to know about Pere-Lachaise but were afraid to ask, it is also a portrait of a person who truly loves his work.' The New York TimesFor Benot Gallot, Pere Lachaise is best explored without a guide: You're guaranteed to lose your way. You'll feel as though you've stepped out of time, out of Paris, and into another place entirely. In his debut memoir, Gallot, head curator of Pere Lachaise and son of a grave stonemason, pulls back the curtains on his otherworldly workplace a cemetery crammed with tourists in the high season and mourners year round, but also a natural paradise, where foxes roam, birds flit between trees, and wildflowers and moss encroach onto tombstones. In elegant, engrossing chapters, Gallot reveals the secret world of Pere Lachaise its Napoleonic origins, its unusual graves and monuments alongside touching stories from his working life in the cemetery. Born into a family of undertakers, Gallot was named curator of Pere-Lachaise in his early-thirties, inheriting the complex job of managing over 100 acres of green space, overseeing 70,000 graves, and arranging burials and cremations, all while contending with millions of tourists plus film crews, birdwatchers, ghost hunters, and the occasional nude performance artist. Gallot, who also lives on the cemetery grounds with his wife and young children, demystifies his unusual and often misunderstood profession, which in reality requires much more contact with living people than dead ones. In doing so, he provides insight into the history of graveyards and our evolving relationship with death. Gallot also shares vivid descriptions of flora and fauna, which have reemerged in recent years thanks to a huge rewilding effort. Initially unsure about the idea, he embraced it as the cemetery alleys blossomed and birdsong proliferated. Then in April 2020, with the city in lockdown, Gallot took an early-morning stroll and crossed paths with a fox in the middle of Paris! He snapped a picture and posted it, unwittingly setting off a media frenzy. Gallot's daily photographs of Pere-Lachaise's flourishing animal and plant life have attracted followers from around the world, helping to change the public perception of cemeteries, which ultimately exist as places for the living. A bestseller in France, lauded as 'a superb book . full of humour, empathy, and great sweetness' by the French literary press, The Secret Life of a Cemetery is a life-affirming read that will stand the test of time. From the head curator of the most famous cemetery in the world a moving and 'enchanting' (Guardian) story about a place where joy, grief, and wild nature converge in unexpected and inspiring ways.
