«Pourquoi j'ai mangé mon père» is Roy Lewis's satirical novel, published by Magnard in paperback (242 pages, in French).
A tribe of pithecanthropes lives a hilarious evolutionary adventure while its members passionately debate the future of the species. The clash between the prehistoric setting and a language full of cultured references —from the Bible to Shakespeare— turns this satire into a reflection on science, humanity, otherness and war.
The work was originally published in English as 'The Evolution Man' (1960); this Magnard edition (2002) belongs to the Classiques & contemporains collection (no. 38) and includes the complete text.
Suitable for secondary and high school students studying argumentation, and for readers seeking an intelligent satire.
