At the crossroads of autobiographical narrative, diary, historical essay, and philosophical tale, this book challenges, touches, and provokes thought.
Through a series of dialogues with his young son, Fred Bernard retraces the major turning points of humanity, from agricultural revolutions to social struggles, including scientific, moral, and spiritual advancements that have shaped our world.
