¿Y si resulta que es el altruismo y no la competitividad feroz el impulso natural del ser humano? Una revolucionaria lectura de la historia de la humanidad.
“What to Expect When You’re Dead is a remarkable book, as broad as it is deep. Garland’s urbane, witty style makes his grand synthesis of ancient approaches to death eminently instructive for scholars and compellingly entertaining for the general reader. To say this book is well written is an understatement. I can’t imagine a single person who would not learn from it.”—Jennifer T. Roberts, author of Out of One, Many: Ancient Greek Ways of Thought and Culture “Vital and vivacious, Garland’s sometimes sobering, sometimes irreverent, but always informative overview takes readers on an awfully big adventure. Bringing to life 100,000 years of human responses to death, this book poses timeless questions about the greatest known unknown of all.”—David Stuttard, author of A History of Ancient Greece in 50 Lives
