TEACHER SEEKS PUPIL.
Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person.
It was just a three-line ad in the personals section, but it launched the adventure of a lifetime.
So begins an utterly unique and captivating novel. In Ishmael, which received the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship for the best work of fiction offering positive solutions to global problems, Daniel Quinn parses humanity’s origins and its relationship with nature, in search of an answer to this challenging question: How can we save the world from ourselves?
Praise for Ishmael
“As suspenseful, inventive, and socially urgent as any fiction or nonfiction you are likely to read this or any other year.” —The Austin Chronicle
“Before we’re halfway through this slim book . . . we’re in [Daniel Quinn’s] grip, we want Ishmael to teach us how to save the planet from ourselves. We want to change our lives.” —The Washington Post
“Arthur Koestler, in an essay in which he wondered whether mankind would go the way of the dinosaur, formulated what he called the Dinosaur’s Prayer: ‘Lord, a little more time!’ Ishmael does its bit to answer that prayer and may just possibly have bought us all a little more time.” —Los Angeles Times

About the Author
Daniel QuinnYazar · 7 books
Daniel Quinn (d. 11 Ekim 1935, Omaha, Nebraska, ABD), çevreci olarak kabul edilen ve en çok 1991'de Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award'ı kazanan Ishmael romanıyla tanınan yazar.
Öte yandan Quinn, kendisini "çevreci" olarak tanımlamaz ve bu terimin sahte bir ikilem yarattığına dikkat çeker. Zira bu terim, çevre kavramının yaşayan organizmalardan, özellikle de insan yaşamından ayrı olduğunu çağrıştırır. Quinn kendi felsefesini new tribalism olarak tanımlar.
