A quirky, cautionary tale from beloved New York Times bestselling picture book creator Oliver Jeffers! There was once a man who believed he owned everything and set out to survey what was his.

Combining bold art and powerful prose, and working in traditional lithographic printmaking techniques for the first time, world-renowned talent Oliver Jeffers has created a poignant modern-day fable to touch the hearts of adults and children alike. Praise for The Fate of Fausto: "Jeffers paints Fausto and the objects of his desire with the nonchalant finesse he is known for and in the richly saturated colors he generally favors...

Do artista plástico ganhador do British Book of the Year, do Roald Dahl Funny Prize e da Kate Greenaway Medal O ousado e artístico trabalho de Oliver Jeffers parte do princípio: do início de todas as coisas que conhecemos e às quais somos familiares; do momento mais remoto do agora. De lá, leva o leitor em uma jornada até aqui, o nosso presente, e oferece questionamentos desafiadores: para onde estamos indo? De onde viemos? Quando e por que tudo isso começou? Como podemos pensar em um futuro da humanidade além dos avanços tecnológicos? E qual é a essência da humanidade que vale a pena mantermos para esse futuro? Com ilustrações de tirar o fôlego, a ponderação de Jefferes sobre o estado do mundo é profunda, emocionante e poderosa. Esta narrativa apresenta uma perspectiva tocante que, unida ao traço singular do autor, provoca uma importante reflexão sobre a natureza da existência e a importância de pensarmos sobre a nossa origem — e o nosso destino, seja ele qual for.
