Summary:
Throughout our lives, many things may lead us to forget who we truly are. Result? Slowly yet inevitably, cages and chains enslave our thoughts and slay our freedoms.
Down the ages, men have thus fallen for hosts of illusions, confusions and fears - except for the seven dreamers whose stories this book contains. These mad truth-seekers (who oddly share the same name) did not follow others' flow to slavery; rather, they heeded a voice in their heads that led them to obsession with an idea long thought extinct, buried beneath the sands of time: The Seed.

In this book you will take a rollicking metaphysical ride that starts in ancient Egypt, moves to the Grand Greek Era, then to Rome, Arab Alexandria, on piratic High Seas, to Switzerland and circuses, into a Christian era interlude, then to modern Egypt (2007) and lastly, to a sort of Garden of Visionary Epiphany that will leaves you on and past the brink of enlightenment...
Review:
The Seed was sent to me by the author in exchange of an honest review and I have to say this is an intriguing book.
This book can be a little hard to read sometimes especially when it refers to mathematical analysis and what derives from there, which I must confess I have no real knowledge about. I found this book to be interesting and profound, though.
One thing I really liked was the mythology references because that’s a theme that has always interested me.
On this book you get the chance to travel to several countries and experience different cultures.
I think this book combines several genres like history, mythology, philosophy and fiction.
Even though this is not a light read, if you are interested in thinking about and analyzing some of life’s greatest questions like where have you been and where you are going, then this book is definitely for you. It will make look at things in a different way.
