Quick overview Deriving from a native Amazonian myth, this third and final volume of "Turtle was Gone a Long Time" re-engages with two important themes: our efforts to find and navigate the evolutionary channel, and our efforts to bring in new myths and re-open the road to civilization and culture.
€22.91

The third and final volume derives from an Amazonian myth in which, on the first morning of the world, a woman of defining importance for religion and culture ascends the primeval river in an Anaconda canoe. As she ascends it we cannot but acknowledge her as a kind of Cortez, Ishmael, Kurtz, or Jonah, come to challenge us in our most fundamental beliefs about ourselves and our universe. The first two volumes in this ambitious work are Crossing the Kedron and Horsehead Nebula Rising.
