Читать книгу Fauna - Christiane Vadnais - Страница 7

Just like their prehistoric ancestors, human beings still dream at night of epic fights with animals.

Between their sheets, they do not whisper secrets but instead hurl spearlike threats and murmur spells to summon every ounce of strength against their foes. Outstretched arms serve not to embrace the sleeping body at their side but to fend off wolves and bears, find shelter from the winds, carve a path through the storm. In darkness, all are plunged into a life-and-death battle against natural forces, a war without beginning or end.

To dream of a future where our species survives, we must get back to wilder times.
