Title
The Adventures of Mr Marigold - Paperback
by Michael Charles Tobias (Author)
Michael Charles Tobias - in this colossal comic novel of 625,000 words - has given us a masterpiece of insight about our lives and troubled times. Through his idealistic hero Murillo Marigold and his earthy sidekick Sannazaro, Tobias meditates on everything that matters: poetry, art, philosophy, alternative technologies, environmentalism, human wrongs, animal rights, sustainable living, and utopias future and past. And what style! Passage after passage of inspired prose, from a mind on fire that sees every moment and encounter as hilarious, holy, and unique. The heart of the book is the author's deeply personal sublime vision: the sacredness of all living beings, the reverence for life, the passionate commitment to social and environmental change. This enormous, challenging beatific vision that reminds us who we are - and points the way to what the new world could one day be - makes Mr Marigold a modern classic, at once entertaining, nourishing, revolutionary, and profoundly wise.
