Sophia's Tale – hinnat ja saatavuus

A Fairytale for Adults. Princess. Goddess. Whore. The story of how the Goddess of Wisdom became wise. Seduced by the Emperor of Diamonds, Sophia follows her beloved intoa dream. Lost in the desert, she begins her adventure in The Land ofImpermanence. From palace harem to street brothel, Sophia must live byher wits as she encounters soothsayers, lecherous gatekeepers and warmongeringdesert tribes, fleeing the ruthless Emperor to find her wayhome before he finds her. A retelling of the ancient Gnostic myth, Pistis Sophia, for themodern heart - and what one woman is prepared to risk to discover herauthentic self. Banished from the Bible in the 4th century, SOPHIA'STALE gives Sophia back her voice. 'Beautifully and imaginatively written and resonating deeply in the realmsof allegory, Sarah Walton takes us on Sophia's fascinating journey ofadventure, magic, sex, survival, personal resourcefulness and hard-wonwisdom as she pursues her elusive dream in the Land of Impermanence.'Philip Ayckbourn, Playwright "Exquisitely written, Sophia's Tale crosses the disciplines of literature, depth psychology and mysticism. Abused and abandoned Sophia recoversher soul and becomes the source of wisdom that was her birthright." Dr Alan Mulhern, Jungian Analyst & Author 'This is a tale of compassion and cruelty, community and betrayal, love andabuse, promise and disillusion. Tread in Sophia's footsteps and learn whatshe learned. I assure you, you will not find this a comfortable read; butthen, as Blake reminds us, wisdom is not bought with a dance in the street.'Adrian Bott, Novelist
