"The Riddle of the Seal" is the first episode of Chronicles of the Greater Dream by Miguel Errazu A sweeping epic of tremendous scope, imagination and sensibility. "It is in the tradition of the great fantasies - I think of Ossian and Garcia Marquez. Just what the world needs at this perilous time." James Goldsborough, former foreign correspondent at the International Herald-Tribune. The story: Teddy, an amnesic youth, is detained in secret prison at the heart of a nameless desert. One day, a child beckons and leads him into the fearful waste. Three men are waiting. They whisk him away and fly him to Gondwana, a huge nation-continent forgotten by the world. The author's astonishing powers of invention propel us beyond time and space, into a strangely familiar world that is a mirror-image of our own. Izhar Cohen's witty and poetic illustrations weave a delightful counterpoint into the three episodes of these Chronicles that relate Teddy's epic journey through the land. Setting it down, we begin to wonder: when we already have the inexhaustible magic of the everyday, what further magic is required?

Escaping from a secret prison in the middle of a nameless desert, Theseus (Teddy) Managras is flown to Gondwana, the boundless land his grandfather once ruled. In this Second Episode of Chronicles of the Greater Dream, Teddy and his companions reach the Valley of Umbra and are sent out to recover the bodies of the Sleepers of Lethe – seven legendary figures that have been resting for close to a hundred years beneath the colossal glacier of Oblivium. As Teddy continues his journey, he discovers love, begins to remember his own past and understands at last why his grandfather was sent into exile, why his parents were assassinated, and why he himself was being secretly detained.  (See www.greaterdream.com). “A great history - original, and marvellous and strange and fascinating!”  Brian O’Doherty  “An unusual work of high literary fantasy. The author’s astonishing powers of invention propel us beyond time and space, into a strangely familiar world that is a mirror-image of our own. A work of strong humanistic and internationalist convictions.”  World Heritage, October 2007
