About This Book

The narrative explores the emergence of humanity through the eyes of animals, depicting a time when two-legged beings first appeared in a vibrant forest. As the animals observe these strange creatures, they question their nature and abilities, leading to discussions about identity and existence. The story intertwines themes of truth and understanding, as five wise men embark on a quest to find truth, only to engage in conflict over their differing beliefs. Ultimately, the tale reflects on the complexities of knowledge and the essence of being, culminating in a poignant realization about the nature of truth itself.

Dear,

Of all Carl Ewald’s stories Two-Legs has always been your favourite. Now that I am reissuing it, amplified by four chapters which did not appear in the original edition, it is only fit that I should dedicate this translation, with my love, to you.
