Ishmael
by Daniel Quinn
It all begins when a man answers this ad:
TEACHER SEEKS PUPIL
Must have an earnest desire to
save the world. Apply in person.
Who (or what) he finds there and the conversation they have about how to save the world follows. This book is written in a conversational style that reminded me of The Alchemist. It's an easy read about Daniel Quinn's real-life philosophies having to do with population control and food production. Although I didn't agree with most of his ideas, he had a few valid points worth considering. Overall, though, I don't think the world will be accepting his solution.
1992, 263 pp.
