I truly don't know why/how I didn't come across these books in high school--I wish I had. It's a series (so far) that I'd say deserves to have been widely read, and yet the folks I come across who've read these books seem to be few and far between. And even though those I speak to about them rave about them...the books simply aren't well-known. I get it. They're not plot-heavy and full of blockbuster action. But the intelligent and careful presentation of character and ideas, the way they lay out what it seems clear we should have been taught in schools (but weren't) in a landscape of fiction...well, exciting or not, it feels rather they like they ought to be required reading, to be quite honest. I wish they were, and maybe we'd live in a better world. This is the second book in the series, beginning with Ishmael, and I look forward to picking up the third. If you've not yet read Ishmael, I hope you will. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Ishmael (2)
A young American priest is sent to Europe to investigate an itinerant preacher considered to be Antichrist, only to be converted by him. He finds nothing anti about the preacher, everything he says makes sense to him, including animism as the solution to such ills as overpopulation and environmental damage. By the author of Ismahel.

"Remember that your tracks are one strand of the web woven endlessly in the hand of god. They're tied to those of the mouse in the field, the eagle on the mountain, the crab in its hold, the lizard beneath its rock. The leaf that falls to the ground a thousand miles away touches your life. The impress of your food in the soil is felt through a thousand generations." - 186-187 ( )
