Univers : books

This book aims to explain Darwin’s theories in an informal and funny way for Brazilian people. Images move through pages, creating an illusion of movement, like a flip book. Homosexuality is discussed in Chapter 5, in which there is a parallel story told by the footnote images: In the beginning, a lion and a lioness are a couple, then the male growls at the female and she leaves him alone. After that, another male approaches and interacts with him, and they leave together. The cover of the book features a dynamic collage that presents Darwin surrounded by his studying universe, and this is extended to the spine and back cover.
