O knihe
What if humans weren't the first civilized people? This unique and fascinating novel describes the life of a prophetess who founded a religious movement, trained as a healer, became a queen, invented a tarot deck, and abdicated her throne to seek her own origins. The action occurs 63 million years ago, in the well of the deep past, inhabited by animals and plants that are ancestral to all living things today.
Named saurians by the author, who based his story on the latest research, this intelligent race creates cities, farms and ranches for food, and builds an infrastructure, while following its own nature of laying eggs and changing sex. Life then was exotic to us, but saurian emotions would seem familiar. Love, faith, betrayal and anger color the actions of the birdlike saurians even as intense feelings motivate us, driving us to murder, war, devotion and creation. It is by our extremes that we learn about ourselves.
Skeptics might say that the world-shaking events recounted in this story never could happen. But this book is fiction, after all, and adopted people seek their real parents every day. Can anyone truthfully say that what happens today never will repeat?
