"280 Days Before Your Birth. A report on what you forgot while you were in the midst of it" tells the HISTORY of YOU from conception to birth, from your first cell to nine months later when you decided to come into this world.
Did you know that in the early 20th century, the phrase "THE BABY DIED" meant that a woman was pregnant? Or that the tiny sea worm Bonellia viridis spends its entire life inside its own female as her personal sperm donor? These are just two of the very unusual facts you will find in Katharina Westre's book, which tells us all about the miraculous process of human development in the womb.
The author's task is to penetrate as deeply as possible inside the living organism and to consider the process of pregnancy at the cellular level, to explain how chromosomes work, how cells communicate with each other and what DNA is. The author came up with the idea to address the reader as if he is inside his mother's body at the moment of reading and is growing every month - here he is just a compound of two parental cells, now there are four cells, and then six, eight, and now there is a heart, hearing, vision, lungs, fingers and toes, and so on.
