By Bruce Paul · A parable for children that adults can appreciate · 32 pages · Paperback ISBN 978-1-64873-393-2
Book 1 is a children’s parable you can finish in an evening, and find yourself thinking about for weeks. In a Town built on comfort and certainty, one boy refuses to believe that a finished book contains finished truth. Artama crosses The Plain, meets Kora, and returns carrying words, and a miracle, no one asked for.
ARTAMA, A YOUNG BOY, lives in The Town, where the people are almost always content. But Artama is not content, and he challenges the conventional wisdom. Determined to discover the truth for himself—against the dictates of The Readers and The Book of Knowledge & Wisdom—Artama undertakes a journey across The Plain. He meets Kora, a wondrous and mysterious girl. Upon his return, now a young man, Artama brings words of knowledge and wisdom . . . and a miracle.
A charming, provocative, and revolutionary parable, Artama & The Book of Knowledge & Wisdom is a timeless tale with a message for all ages. Artama & The Book of Knowledge & Wisdom is the first tale in The Artama Legend.
