Various facts about death, from traditions and beliefs to epidemics and diseases. Dispassionate, detached narration will help talk about death, examine and discuss it from different angles, without appealing to pity, without trying to intimidate, but simply telling the facts. The intonation is yours. Wonderful illustrations by Mariona Cabassa that will not leave you indifferent. Why do we die? What happens to us after death and why do we hardly talk about it? Which animal is the most dangerous for humans? What feeling do we lose last before death? Did you know that some jellyfish are able to return to childhood and thus renew the cycle of life? And that there are dogs that can smell death? Or that there are species that reproduce only once in their lifetime and then die? We are not told about death or taught how to cope with it. This is surprising, because death is the only thing that is inevitable in life. It is a part of life, and perhaps if we talk about it and perceive it naturally, it will be easier to accept.

Quotes:

'Death is the fate of all living things, not only on Earth. Planets, stars, galaxies and celestial bodies are also mortal. Death is all-encompassing.'

'The magic of the Universe is that death and birth always go hand in hand. Everything is mortal and at the same time everything is eternal.'
