In bookstores from autumn 2022, the collection is designed to stimulate preteens to ask themselves the right questions, to understand history and no longer feel it as boring a school subject but as the canvas that connects all human beings in time and space.
Books with questions and even some answers. Let's talk about The Unstoppable, the first literary test for children by the Israeli writer and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari available from October 2022. An author who has already made many adult readers around the world reflect on the habits and evolutions of nature and human history and which has found a key to stimulate even the youngest.

Four volumes full of ideas and animations
History is often boring said Harari presenting this series at the latest edition of the Children's Book Fair in Bologna. Four color volumes illustrated by Ricard Zaplana Ruiz to tell, in installments, our story through the cognitive revolution up to hacking in an ever less distant future. A work for today's young people that stems from the attitude of yesterday's Harari, or the student because this is the type of text she would have liked to read at 10:
it would have spared me so many problems and misconceptions.

Entertain, entertain and make people think
A collection of great stories to entertain, entertain, educate and offer tools to the younger generations to understand the value of life, to explain how all human beings are made the same way and connected to each other.
Asking the right questions or stimulating the youngest to this approach becomes fundamental to understand how men have taken over the world, although less cunning and strong than animals, and not to repeat certain mistakes. How Humans Took Over the World is the title of one of the four volumes that tells of the superpower of humans used to create oddities such as ghosts, corporations or one of the most successful "fairy tales" of all time, or the power of money.
Knowing history to be free from the past
Understanding where we come from is essential to answer the question "but how did we get here". A typical approach to writing and the approach that has made Yuval one of the most loved contemporary international authors. The essayist argues as for him:
learning history is not knowing the past, but being free from it: we cannot change the past, but we can free it to create a better future.
The story, to be understood and perceived as compelling, does not have to be told something from the past but it must be made interesting.

To do this, it is useful to start from everyday life, from the most recent experience that young people have or are living with crucial questions:
how can i deal with a bully? This can start asking questions about how dictators were born and how they fight each other.
Thus it is possible to investigate the nature of other current issues, such as the denial of school for girls in places like Afghanistan to then investigate the evolution of history and to make it easier to understand the connection in time and space between beings. humans.
