Sobre IBD

Using a conditional metaphorical style of writing the author describes the Odyssey of an Old Man in his desert journey as the hero sets off in a search for meaning in life where time is refracted from the present to the past. As the Old Man searches he is mentored by a wandering dervish and the author skilfully weaves a narrative which allows him to develop ideas and thoughts over a wide range of philosophical reflections. 3
