«Pourquoi j'ai mangé mon père» is the humor novel by Roy Lewis, published by Actes Sud Editions in paperback (240 pages, in French).
A family of pithecanthropes lives in Pleistocene Africa. Édouard, the father, an enthusiastic inventor, drives the horde towards progress with fire; his brother Vania defends the state of nature. With satirical humor and absurd situations, the novel questions faith in progress and human evolution, and whether every advance is desirable.
Collection «Collège Texte intégral»; translation by Vercors and Rita Barisse, illustrations by Cécile Guillard. Original work: «The Evolution Man» (1960).
For secondary school students reading literature in French and for readers fond of satire about human evolution.
