ISHMAEL

AN ADVENTURE OF THE MIND AND SPIRIT ]

Book • 1992

In 'Ishmael', Daniel Quinn presents a unique narrative where a gorilla named Ishmael teaches a human student about the flaws in modern society's cultural myths.

The book delves into themes such as human supremacy, sustainability, and global catastrophe.

Ishmael distinguishes between two groups: the Takers, who believe in exploiting the Earth for their benefit, and the Leavers, who live in harmony with nature.

Through their conversations, Ishmael challenges the narrator and the reader to rethink their assumptions about the world and their place in it, emphasizing the need for a new vision to save humanity and the planet from destruction.
