   Vypravěčem tohoto neobyčejného příběhu je muž hledající pravdu. Odpoví na inzerát v místních novinách, ve kterém učitel hledá žáky, kteří mají vážný zájem o záchranu světa. Náš hrdina se však ocitne v opuštěné kanceláři sám s dospělou gorilou, okusující tenkou větev. „Ty jsi ten učitel?“ zeptá se nevěřícně. „Ano, já jsem ten učitel,“ odpoví gorila. Izmael je bytost neobyčejné moudrosti a svému žákovi začne vyprávět příběh, který nikdy před tím žádný člověk neslyšel. Vyprávění sahá od počátků času až do budoucnosti. Jako všichni velcí učitelé, ani Izmael to svému žákovi nijak neusnadňuje. Vyžaduje, aby osvícení vycházelo z našeho nitra. Je osudem lidstva vládnout světu? Nebo nás čeká vyšší poslání, které je úžasnější, než jsme si kdy dokázali představit?

   Story Of B

   • Daniel Quinn

   4,2(10590)Ohodnotit

   An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit Father Jared Osborne has received an extraordinary assignment from his superiors: Investigate an itinerant preacher stirring up deep trouble in central Europe. His followers all him B, but his enemies say he’s something else: the Antichrist. However, the man Osborne tracks across a landscape of bars, cabarets, and seedy meeting halls is no blasphemous monster—though an earlier era would undoubtedly have rushed him to the burning stake. For B claims to be enunciating a gospel written not on any stone or parchment but in our very genes, opening up a spiritual direction for humanity that would have been unimaginable to any of the prophets or saviors of traditional religion. Pressed by his superiors for a judgment, Osborne is driven to penetrate B’s inner circle, where he soon finds himself an anguished collaborator in the dismantling of his own religious foundations. More than a masterful novel of adventure and suspense, The Story of B is a rich source of compelling ideas from an author who challenges us to rethink our most cherished beliefs.

   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 & HealersWhen 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. Explore Daniel Quinn’s spiritual  Ishmael  trilogy: ISHMAEL • MY ISHMAEL • THE STORY OF B
