Synopsis

In Zebras, you will find a collection of inspirational stories from global figures including Terry Fox, Kim Phuc, Jan Palach, Irena Sendler, Perico Rodriguez, Paulo Coelho, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Maya Angelou, Viktor Frankl to everyday people struggling to survive. David Akerman takes the reader on an eye-opening tour through modern and ancient history, anthropology and biology to investigate what it means to be human in the 21st century.
A keen traveller, he has included his experience and reflections of visits to Brazil in 2017 and 2019, followed by his own interpretation of a selection of vignettes from Eduardo Galeano's best selling book, Children of The Days: A Calandar of Human History. Included are some deeply profound, humane and forgotten true stories, giving the reader insight into the historical narrative running through this book. His anecdotes and reflections are thought-provoking and poignant, with an engaging personal narrative. As he seamlessly weaves through history, he makes it clear that Homo sapiens have both an ingrained propensity for compassion and violence, being far more complex than we might realise, with our behaviour being subject to a number of evolutionary, cognitive and physiological influences.
