The Salamana Tree Miguel Ochoa

Can the Soul of Man be changed?Can his predatory, power-seeking drives be transformed into a submissive passivity?Can He be happy in trading his conquering instincts for a vegetative state in a harmonious blend with Nature?This theme, so central to the modern quest of Man for his role and place in the cosmic order, is treated in fictional form. The author uses fantasy to highlight and dramatize his point of view. An entire town succumbs to an ancient spell from which there is only a single way outor so they believe.
