Deep in the forests of an ancient land, a master wood carver, Chundragara Barnik, creates his greatest work - an iconic feminine embodiment of the season of Spring. The life-like effigy presides over the craftsman's workshop and transforms his life, keeping the hermit company in his solitary labors. When the wealthy merchant, Maharabibi, seeks to purchase the idol, Chundragara is forced to refuse him. The craftsman cannot bring himself to sell the one thing that makes sense of his life. Refusing to take no for an answer, Maharabibi steals the sculpture, leaving the old man bereft. Unable to reproduce his masterpiece, Chundragara pursues the merchant downstream, leaving the forest for the first time in his life to face a world he barely understands - a world of miraculous rituals, nameless cities, unknown oracles and alien gods.Join Richard Stanley & Momo Mila Gro on a journey beyond the known. The proverbs of Jazrael were originally transcribed in 1977 in Southern Africa by the 11-year old Richard Stanley. These writings were presumed lost until 2024 when they were rediscovered by Momo Mila Groβ who reworked and rewrote the material to create this book. A timeless fable, that carries a chilling relevance to our modern interconnected world. The 'Man who made God' is the first story to be drawn from the cycle known as 'Wind in dry Bones'. Should it find favour in the eyes of the public more will surely follow.
