The Wonderful Book of Death

• Various facts about death from traditions and beliefs to epidemics and diseases
• A dispassionate, detached narrative will help you talk about death, consider and discuss it from different angles, without pressing on pity, without trying to intimidate, but simply telling the facts. The intonation is up to you.
• Wonderful illustrations by Mariona Cabassa that will not leave you indifferent

Why do we die? What happens to us after death and why do we hardly talk about it? Which animal is the most dangerous for humans? What is the last feeling we lose before death? Did you know that some jellyfish are able to return to childhood and thus renew the cycle of life? And that there are dogs that smell death? Or that there are species that reproduce only once in their lives and then die?

We are not taught about death or how to cope with it. This is surprising, because death is the only thing that is inevitable in life. It is a part of life, and perhaps if we talk about it and accept it naturally, it will be easier to accept.

Quotes:

"Death is the fate of all living things, not only on Earth. Planets, stars, galaxies and celestial bodies are also mortal. Death is all-encompassing."

"The magic of the universe is that death and birth always go hand in hand. Everything is perishable and at the same time everything is eternal."

Why read:

• Start a conversation about death and mortality
• Remove the fear of the main unknown in life
• Talk through your fears together
• Expand your perception of the world and yourself in it
