Daniel Quinn
8 SeriesDaniel Quinn (1935-2018) was an American author, best known for his novel "Ishmael," which won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award for its innovative solutions to global issues. Prior to writing, Quinn worked in publishing for twenty years. "Ishmael" is widely used in educational settings across various disciplines, including philosophy, ecology, and anthropology.
Tales of Adam by Daniel Quinn is a collection of seven short stories that delve into the spiritual dimension hinted at in his novel Ishmael. These tales offer a glimpse into a world viewed through animist eyes, where humans coexist as equals with all other life forms. In this narrative, the earth is not a hostile territory to be conquered but a friendly environment supporting all species equally. The stories emphasize a world where humans hold a place in the community of life, guided by a divine hand. This perspective, Quinn suggests, is still accessible to those who can see it.
