What if the conflicts that shape our world were retold through the eyes of animals?
Inspired by the tradition of George Orwell's Animal Farm, Animal Globe is a provocative political allegory that transforms history, religion, nationalism, persecution, displacement, and conflict into a dystopian world of animals-where every decision carries a consequence.
Herman the penguin wants to find a solution to the horrific persecution of penguins in Eurainia. But at what price?
Mr. Caesar wants to rid Eurainia of a devastating drought. But at whose expense?
Old Humboldt dreams of creating a safe haven for penguins in Olivia. He creates the haven-but is it truly safe?
Behind these deceptively simple questions lies a much larger story about power and vulnerability, justice and survival, faith and ideology, homeland and displacement, war and peace. As alliances shift and competing claims collide, Animal Globe challenges readers to look beyond familiar narratives and consider how the pursuit of security, belonging, and survival can reshape the lives and destinies of everyone caught in conflict.
Historian Ilan Pappe, who contributed the foreword, writes:
The primary motivation for telling the story in the way it is told is the search for humanity in a world plagued with many chapters and instances of inhumanity.
Praise for Animal Globe
Sabella understands the tremendous burdens of unresolved conflicts and missed opportunities. He writes with passion and insight, leaving signals along the way that he has more in mind than a historical review.
- J. Maxwell Miller, Professor Emeritus, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
...a complex historical, political-socio-economic narrative, written as a wonderfully readable allegorical story... written for a wide audience and begging engagement with the narrative, the book is challenging and provocative.
- Dr. Peter E. Makari, Global Ministries of the UCC and Christian Church
A masterful piece that leaves you hypostatic!
- Roger Ramsamy, Ph.D., President, Hudson Valley Community College, SUNY
Fascinating. An interesting read that uses magical realism, historical events, and creativity to tell a story about our world, which has never been told in such a manner.
- Dr. Laila Shikaki, Assistant Professor of English, Birzeit University
At its heart, Animal Globe is a story about free will.
Every animal has a choice.
And every choice has a consequence.Also from
