It wasn't till I got Ishmael's poster to the framing shop that I discovered there were messages on both sides. I had it framed so that both can be seen. The message on one side is the one Ishmael displayed on the wall of his den: WITH MAN GONE, WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR GORILLA? The message on the other side reads: WITH GORILLA GONE, WILL THERE BE HOPE FOR MAN? (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.) | |

Ein Lehrer und sein Schüler streiten über den Zustand der Welt. Wie konnte der Mensch das Paradies in eine Hölle verwandeln? Ismael, der Lehrer, weiss eine überraschend andere Geschichte der Evolution zu erzählen. Sie reicht zurück bis an jenen biblischen Tag, da sich der Mensch in mörderischem Bruderstreit zur Krone der Schöpfung machte. – Übrigens, Ismael ist ein Gorilla.
