Download or read book The Dream of Scipio written by Iain Pears and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-08-06 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three narratives, set in the fifth, fourteenth, and twentieth centuries, all revolving around an ancient text and each with a love story at its centre, are the elements of this brilliantly ingenious novel, a follow-up to the international bestseller An Instance of the Fingerpost. The centuries are the 5th (the final days of the Roman Empire); the 14th (the years of the Plague — the Black Death); and the 20th (World War II). The setting for each is the same — Provence — and each has at its heart a love story. The narratives intertwine seamlessly, and what joins them thematically is an ancient text — “The Dream of Scipio” — a work of neo-Platonism that poses timeless philosophical questions. What is the obligation of the individual in a society under siege? What is the role of learning when civilization itself is threatened, whether by acts of man or nature? Does virtue lie more in engagement or in neutrality? “Power without wisdom is tyranny; wisdom without power is pointless,” warns one of Pears’s characters. The Dream of Scipio is a bona fide novel of ideas, a dazzling feat of storytelling, fiction for our times.

Soon after he arrives, the community is shocked by the disappearance of Evie’s young son. The townspeople, shaken by the Dawson family’s tragedy and captivated by Robert’s subversive magic, begin to experiment with his dreams. And Evie, devastated by grief, turns to Robert for a comfort only he can sell her. But the dream peddler’s wares awaken in his customers their most carefully buried desires, and despite all his good intentions, some of them will lead to disaster.

Book excerpt: There is no such thing as `dreams¿. While sleeping, a person¿s spirit is freed from their body and may move around. It sees, and to a lesser extent hears, the world. No physical contact can be made and no one in `the spirit¿ sees or hears anyone else in the spirit. It is a pre-industrial world. Jonah, a man in his mid-twenties, is an orphan adopted by a warlord as a youth, along with his cousin Rahim. On the eve of battle Jonah, for unknown reasons, visits a girl (Assara) he has never met in a place he has never seen while in the spirit (sleeping). He falls instantly in love with her, a sensation completely foreign to him.The same day Assara, a slave in a live-in factory called a Hold visits Jonah while he is asleep in his camp. She falls in love with him. They are completely unaware that each has seen the other, and there is no hope that their paths could ever cross. Despite this, they feel compelled to `visit¿ each other every night while they sleep.Jonah¿s faction is decisively winning territory under the flawless leadership of `The Shareef¿, his adopter. Integral to these victories are rifles far advanced for the time. No sooner have they assisted Jonah in conquering the largest city in the nation that Assara, half a world away, begins assembling them in her factory¿As their fascination for each other grows, their avenue of connection becomes tainted. Dreaming has begun.
