The world in a second
(Portuguese edition)
The most common or the most extraordinary things can happen within a second. Some of them seem to have no effect on the course of things, others can trigger small waves that will, on their turn, trigger other new events.
The world in a second follows the passage of time, that particular time corresponding to a small step for fastest of clocks, across the five continents.
Through images that invoke the universe of comic books, we are faced with the diversity of worlds, people and situations that make this planet: each page opens a window where we can peek through which we can peep what’s happening in this precise moment, here, there and everywhere.
A picturebook that can be read in different levels, by readers of every age.
