Reseña del libro "The Origin of man (en Inglés)"

With a name like Jacques Boucher de Crèvecoeur de Perthes, it ought to be easy to become a hero. Yet, how to go about it? A real-life nineteenth-century paleontologist and explorer, excavated here by Christine Montalbetti to serve as her protagonist, Jacques has tried everything: fighting off pirates, writing poetry, becoming a dandy, a man of culture . . . all without ever quite feeling he fits the bill. At last, when Jacques decides hell make his name by discovering evidence of early man, it seems we, his audience, will be treated to a novel about mankind itselfunless, of course, our putative hero gets shanghaied into a love story along the way. The Origin of Man is the story of one manand all humanitywaging a war against oblivion without ever quite winning the day. Its also a comedy about being immersed in heroic and fantastical events without ones ever noticing.
