About This Book

Kokoelma esittelee lyhyitä legendoja, joissa usko, uhraus ja inhimillinen omantunto kohtaavat myyttisen ja arjen maailman. Avainkertomuksessa leski rukoilee ja antaa syntyvistä kaksosistaan toisen pyhälle äidille, minkä seurauksena veljeksistä kasvaa erilaisille elämänpoluille kulkevat hahmot: toinen etsii kunniaa ja seikkailua, toinen on hiljainen ja henkisesti suuntautunut. Tekstit käsittelevät äidinrakkauden ristiriitoja, uskonnollisen antautumisen hintoja sekä kärsimyksen ja lohdutuksen teemoja eri ihmiskohtaloiden kautta.
