Book Synopsis
“Again, the story
the story is told
is told so bold
so bold its lost
its lost to them
to them and me
and me you see
you see Again”
A renewed retelling of the end times fiasco in chaotic Boschian terms.
Set on planet Earth in an unknown time frame at the brink of the earth’s destruction, Biller reconstructs the doomsday prophecy on the basis of a new kind of spiritual knowledge that is yet to be discovered by the mankind. The earthly existence has been through two evolutions and is now in its third day of survival after which it will inevitably perish. A Prophet is sent by a Divinity whose nature is yet undefined. They are referred to as the ‘Great Ones’. But they are a higher power that seeks to warn man of his end. There is a taste of Blake’s four Zoas. The descriptions are relayed in no particular sequence but as and how the narrative moves along. War is seen as the ultimate destroyer and must be overturned by hook or crook. That is Alvarius’ greatest task and challenge which will prove his true prophethood as the saviour of mankind. Nuances can be traced to Greek and Roman myths though it is hard to say which ones in particular. The ideas become a medley of several myths and prophecies. Alvarius is hard to define but has touches of Shelley’s Prometheus along with Milton’s Samson.
