A tapestry of thoughts on the nature of humanity and the nature of myths. Gray pulls together memoirs, poems, stories and philosophies that deal with man's rougher, more primordial edges. While we constantly increase our knowledge in science/technology, we somehow fail to do the same thing for ethics and politics. Here we repeat the same mistakes over and over.

“In the Babel we have created for ourselves, it is the silence of animals that both reproaches and bewitches us.”
