Who is the man? A brave warrior who protects his family from all dangers? Seductive macho, the abductor of women's hearts? An exemplary and devoted father who lives for his children after work? A large format thinker and brilliant scientist? Or is it just the opposite: violent, impudent, deranged, selfish and overbearing? Or, even worse: simply slippers?
Man is the crown of creation and a fallen angel: what he builds with one hand, he destroys with the other. He is a beast wearing a mouthpiece, who, for better or for worse, tries to play the role of a cultural being. He is a self-righteous rebel who runs headlong into the wall while having to be coddled more than a kindergartener. He's a real leader, but he can't even wash his dirty underpants on his own.
In his usual witty style, GÁBOR SZENDI presents the supposed stronger gender - which from now on would be more appropriate to call the weaker gender - with ruthless thoroughness. The man himself is a system error, a thoughtless, hastily put together invention of evolution. By taking a look behind the scenes of its production process, we can see how many pitfalls the road leads through before it is born at all - and the real complications only come after that. The biggest threat to a man is himself.
The Decline and Fall of Man makes serious claims and does not promise ready-made recipes, but at the same time invites us to think together. With its surprising connections, astonishing results and brand new perspectives, it is a worthy match for the woman's rise and shine.

GÁBOR SZENDI is a writer and psychologist, the introducer and spreader of Paleolithic nutrition in Hungary, but above all he is a free thinker. He claims that our modern world has moved light years away from the form of existence to which we have adapted over millions of years. Although we live in big cities and surround ourselves with super-intelligent gadgets, our brains still belong to a hunter-gatherer tribe. If we want to live a fuller and happier life, we must first understand what we were made for.
