Synopsis

An extraordinary and startlingly original sequel to Ishmael 
 
“Enthralling, shocking, hope-filled, and utterly fearless, Daniel Quinn leads us deeper and deeper into the human heart, history, and spirit. In My Ishmael, Quinn strikes out into entirely new territory, posing questions that will rock you on your heels, and providing tantalizing possibilities for a truly new world vision.”—Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Animals as Teachers & Healers

When Ishmael places an advertisement for pupils with “an earnest desire to save the world,” he does not expect a child to answer him.  But twelve-year-old Julie Gerchak is undaunted by Ishmael’s reluctance to teach someone so young, and convinces him to take her on as his next student.  Ishmael knows he can't apply the same strategies with Julie that he used with his first pupil, Alan Lomax—nor can he hope for the same outcome. But young Julie proves that she is ready to forge her own spiritual path and arrive at her own destination.  And when the time comes to choose a pupil to carry out his greatest mission yet, Ishmael makes a daring decision—a choice that just might change the world.

شگفت انگیز و قابل تامل حیف که این کتاب خیلی تو ایران شناخته شده نیست و براش تبلیغات نشده. مخلوطی از فلسفه،محیط زیست و تاریخ... مکالمه یک مرد به عنوان دانشجو و یک گوریل در مقام استاد... نگاهی از زاویه جدید به آفرینش،تکامل،دین و وضع بشر... فکر کنم اولین ریو فارسی رو دارم براش مینویسم،امیدوارم خوانندگانش بی......more
