The catalog of death

The Catalogue of Death is an unpretentious exploration of the last great stage of our existence: death. In this work, which is both entertaining and erudite, Bunpei Yorifuji addresses every imaginable aspect of the "passage to the afterlife": where do people die most often? From what causes? Who lives the longest? Which cultures fear death the most and how do they represent it? What are the best (and worst) ways to die? In short: what is death?

To this naive question, the author responds, as usual, with text and images, mixing humorous drawings, anecdotes, and in-depth research.

Strengthened by a Japanese culture where this topic is addressed without taboos, Bunpei Yorifuji, in this work, is aimed at both adults and younger readers. A book to place in the hands of all those who seek to approach the topic of death with delicacy and humor.
