A luxurious gift edition, a book-artifact from the creators of the bestseller The Book. This is the story of Noah, the last man on Earth, who turned his diary into a hymn to lost humanity—collecting all the most remarkable, beautiful, and strange things humankind had ever created. Highly recommended by the editors of MYTH.
After a global catastrophe, Noah woke up on a spaceship, carrying him into the unknown. To maintain his sanity and cope with loneliness and grief, Noah created the very last, definitive book—and it's before you.
It contains the myths we shared. The dreams we aspired to. The beauty we created. And what made life worth living. From the history of civilizations to entertainment, from religions to social media and relationships, from marketing and anatomy to philosophy, from fairy tales to dystopias... Noah had time to remember it all. Is his diary a farewell to humanity. Or an attempt to save it?
"Dear Aliens, I don't want to think that humanity is finished—at least I still exist. Thanks to me, you will know for sure that you saved me. And since you raised me with a beam (or whatever you have) right here with paints and markers, I will also draw how it was..."
Hundreds of detailed, vibrant illustrations, a labyrinth of stories, riddles, and cultural references—both in text and visuals. Noah's commentary is witty, intellectual, full of pride in the achievements of civilization—and at the same time, the bitterness of loss. Combining a diary, an encyclopedia, and a book on history and art, The Last Book becomes a hymn to the human spirit.
The book will be a truly fantastical journey through time and space with an unexpected ending. These are not just the notes of a last witness—they are a tribute to all of humanity.
