la vida está interconectada y es interactiva dentro de una conciencia superior. En contraste con Marlowe y Goethe, Deschauer presenta una cosmología y existencia que es tanto individual y total, carne y alma. El albedrío se enfrenta con el destino, lo mortal con lo inmortal. Se apunta a justificar los caminos de dios para la humanidad en una existencia carente de dios. Aún las inevitables construcciones de dios, anti-dios y mito son abrazadas por la humanidad en su búsqueda de sentido dentro de nuestra realidad. ¿ES EL AMOR EL SIGNIFICADO DE LA VIDA, EL ALBEDRÍO O LA INMORTALIDAD?By Paul Zindel. 1984

This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies.
