    • Does God really exist? Are science and religion incompatible bedfellows? Charles Darwin shook philosophy to its foundations with his theory of evolution, yet strangely, he himself refrained from commenting in depth about the religious implications for fear of adding to the furor. But suppose that he did in fact write down his conclusions as a secret addendum to his seminal work, Origin of Species. And suppose his beloved wife, Emma, who kept her own secret journal, was the only other person to know of this hidden postscript. The novel Survival of the Fittest is the modern story of the search.

    • Pozoruhodný alegorický príbeh o mierumilovnej spoločnosti, ktorú nepriateľský vpád urputne rozvracia. Rovinatá krajina sa vo vlahom povetrí vlní pokojne a nerušene, ďaleko od vojen a všetkých strastí ľudstva. Keď sa však prizrieme bližšie, čo to šuští v tráve, odhalíme mravčiu ríšu plnú chaosu a zmätkov. Kolónia čiernych mravcov sa práve prebúdza po dlhom zimnom spánku a čaká ju nemilé prekvapenie – červené mravce sa v arogantných šíkoch valia po mravenisku a ničia všetko, čo im príde do cesty.
