True Stories from Kantanos (Paperback)

In the mountain villages of Crete, the stars descent low to touch humanity. They join together to form constellations and to rehearse ancient mythology. Curiosity awakes about the intricate workings of nature. Human beings yearn to lay their hands on an explanation to the eternal unanswered questions. When solitude and the fear of death overwhelm their souls, people stick their nose out of their lairs and rejoin the herd, like solitary wolfs, in coffeehouses, in holidays, in religious festivals, to sniffle at each other reluctantly, to recollect the same timeworn stories, to barter news and gossip, finally to retreat again, sated, in their burrows.What is the Nature of Reality?Perception depends on the respective viewpoint.General Principles permeate Art and Science, Philosophy and History. A journey between Superstition and Science.
