More copies of this ISBN:My Ishmaelby Daniel Quinn
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Daniel Quinn's novel Ishmael has become an underground bestseller with more than 500,000 copies in print and one of the most beloved novels of spiritual adventure ever published. Every reader of this transformative book can recite its opening invitation: "Teacher seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world". A young man answers this "want ad" and discovers that the teacher is Ishmael, a telepathic lowland gorilla. What he never learns, however, is that he isn't Ishmael's only pupil. The other is twelve-year-old Julie Gerchak. "My Ishmael" is Julie's story of her encounter with one of the greatest teachers of the modern age. Accepting Julie as his pupil is one thing; dealing with the challenge she represents is quite another. Ishmael soon realizes that adopting new methods means adopting new goals; the result is a far different journey for Julie, who becomes Ishmael's secret collaborator. In revealing the mission and the secret entrusted to her, Julie pens a conclusion to the Ishmael saga that has raised cheers from his fans all around the world. Review:"Enthralling, shocking, hope-filled, and utterly fearless, Quinn leads us deeper and deeper into the human heart, history, and spirit. Thank God the gorilla is back! In My Ishmael, Quinn strikes out into entirely new territory, posing questions that will rock you on your heels, and providing tantalizing possibilities for a truly new world vision." -Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Animals as Teachers & Healers Review:"Irresistible...[Quinn's] ideas are as thought-provoking as ever." -Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:The telepathic lowland gorilla featured in Quinn's award-winning book "Ishmael" returns in an extraordinary sequel, telling the story of 12-year-old Julie Gerchak, whose concerns about the future present a challenge that Ishmael is not quite sure he is prepared to handle. Synopsis:Winner of the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship, Daniel Quinn's Ishmael is a bestseller and a testament for a burgeoning spiritual movement. Now Quinn presents an extraordinary sequel, a companion novel so startlingly original that even Ishmael's most faithful readers will not predict its outcome.... When Ishmael places an advertisement for pupils with "an earnest desire to save the world," he does not expect a child to answer him. But twelve-year-old Julie Gerchak is undaunted by Ishmael's reluctance to teach someone so young, and convinces him to take her on as his next student. Ishmael knows he can't apply the same strategies with Julie that he used with his first pupil, Alan Lomax--nor can he hope for the same outcome. But young Julie proves that she is ready to forge her own spiritual path--and arrive at her own destination. And when the time comes to choose a pupil to carry out his greatest mission yet, Ishmael makes a daring decision--a choice that just might change the world. About the AuthorDaniel Quinn's first book, Ishmael, won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship, a prize for fiction presenting creative and positive solutions to global problems.
