圖書介紹
When an antiquarian book is discovered in the disheveled study of an old Vermont farmhouse, the house's new owner has the volume translated. The result is "The Book of the Shepherd", a timeless story full of life lessons for us all. Set in a mythical time, in an unnamed land, "The Book of the Shepherd" tells the tale of a shepherd, Joshua, who is troubled by the harsh code of an eye for an eye that governs his world. Called by a dream, the shepherd sets off on a journey to find the new way. Accompanied by Elizabeth, a former slave who is kind and generous, and David, a boy who must learn to walk in new shoes, the shepherd knows that an age of miracles will come when the new way is found. But the journey is not without incident. En route to a cave near the Great Inland Sea, the travelers meet a cast of extraordinary characters, including the Storyteller, the Apothecary, the Blind Man, and the Stranger. Each imparts an important lesson that pushes the travelers toward their destiny. At the cave, Joshua must see if he can bring forth secrets long buried. But he, Elizabeth, and David will also discover that sometimes what we have been searching for has been inside us all along.
