Summary

Chronicles of the Greater Dream A Full Account of Recent Events in GondwanaCast in the familiar form of a fantasy novel, this sweeping trilogy by Miguel Errazu (alter ego of the art writer Michael Francis Gibson) is a work of tremendous scope, imagination and sensibility. Combining imaginative playfulness, colorful imagery, and seriousness of purpose, this wise and witty book is about our being in the world and about the status of the imagination in modern society. The thrilling narrative conjures up a parallel world of such dazzling beauty that it should prompt readers to stand up, like the protagonist of this tale, and reclaim this half-forgotten dimension of their own livesThird Episode: The Garden of all the DreamsWill Teddy and his allies manage to overthrow the sinister coalition of what Miguel Errazu calls the "blunt forces of the bottom line"? The Garden of all the Dreams answers this question and completes the trilogy. At the end of this tale, the adventurous travelers venture together into the endless Garden of Perfect Light, there to reestablish the long-lost contact with the Emblemata, the mysterious Living Statues of Gondwana, surely the most fascinating creatures ever imagined by humankind. They soon realize that the balance and stability, not only of Gondwana, but all other human societies has always depended on the interaction between humankind and these great poetic entities. Indeed, as the new government of Gondwana soon enough realizes, the country itself could not possibly hope to survive unless the world is prompted to acknowledge this surprising discovery and act upon it. This is the driving purpose behind the ambitious Greater Dream Project recently launched by the government of Gondwana. Awaiting all comers, Gondwana and the Greater Dream offer a tantalizing glimpse of what humankind can still be expected to achieve.
