Title : The Encyclopedia of Relative and Absolute Knowledge - Bernard Werber - Book Summary : Bringing together all the knowledge of his time: such was the ambition of Professor Edmond Wells. Blending science and spirituality, quantum physics and cooking recipes, this unique and solitary scholar accumulated astonishing information throughout his life. All these texts have one thing in common: to give food for thought, to "make the neurons spark." Professor Edmond Wells was a man full of humor who attached great importance to the notion of paradox. But of all the paradoxes, the most astonishing is certainly the very status of this character since he is, as we now know, only the fruit of Bernard Werber's fertile imagination.

Title : Our Human Friends - Bernard Werber - Book Summary : Are humans intelligent? Are they dangerous? Are they edible? Are they digestible? Can we breed them? Can we tame them? Can we discuss with them as equals? These are the questions that extraterrestrials may ask us. To get to the bottom of it, they kidnap two Earthlings, a male and a female, Raoul and Samantha. They place them in a human cage to study them in peace. A "human cage." They hope to witness a reproduction in captivity. The problem is, Raoul is a misanthropic scientist and Samantha is a romantic tiger tamer. It's not easy in this case for our two guinea pigs to understand each other and, a fortiori, to love each other... With this book, written as a philosophical closed-door session, Bernard Werber presents us with a new facet of his art. Once again, he invites us to take a step back, to have a different perspective to understand humanity "differently". EAN: 9782253113546 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Thanatonauts - Bernard Werber - Book Summary : Man has explored everything: the world of space, the underwater world, the subterranean world; yet he lacks knowledge of one world: the continent of the dead. This is the next frontier. Michael Pinson and his friend Raoul Razorbak, two young researchers without complexes, want to take up this challenge and, using the most modern medical and astronautical techniques, set off to discover paradise. Their name? The Thanatonauts. From the Greek Thanatos (deity of death) and nautès (navigator). Their guide? The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, but also the great mythologies and sacred texts of practically all religions , which seem to have always known what the final journey and the "true" paradise were. Little by little, the thanatonauts draw up the geographical map of this unknown world and discover its immense and magnificent scenery. The word terra incognita recedes at the same time as, day after day, we learn what happens to us after we breathe our last. Bernard Werber, a young French novelist who has been translated worldwide, became known for The Ants and then The Day of the Ants ( Elle Readers' Prize, Livre de Poche Readers' Prize). His specialty: philosophical tales tinged with adventure and humor. As a modern Dante, this time he takes us on a breathtaking journey from which many of us will return "changed."
