«Ishmael» is the philosophical novel by Daniel Quinn, published by Il Saggiatore in paperback (240 pages, in Italian).
A man responds to an advertisement seeking a pupil to study the history of the world with a non-human teacher: Ishmael, a gorilla who can read. Through their Socratic dialogues, the novel questions the beliefs on which modern civilization and our relationship with nature rest, and argues that the ecological crisis has cultural and mythological roots. A narrative work that invites us to rethink humanity's place on the planet.
The work belongs to the Scritture collection from Il Saggiatore; the Italian translation is by M. Gaffo.
A read for those who want to approach the ecological crisis through a novel of ideas.
