Neolithica (The Big Secret)

“We said that, in order to be strong, we must not fight one another.” In his 1914 short story collection The Strength of the Strong, Jack London reminds us that we are nothing until we can become a human tribe capable of uniting against that which exploits it. Composing a fresco of fictional adventures across the Neolithic era, wordsmith Dominique Ziegler humorously invites us on a journey to the very depths of our origins which owes as much to Rousseau as the latest theories of pre-historical scholars.
