Opis:
CHILDREN OF THE OCEAN is a richly illustrated tale of coming-of-age, love, and a hope that—against all odds—does not fade, but rather flourishes in the face of doom. It is also a critique of consumerist blindness and the predatory way global media shapes attitudes and collective appetites. Alongside the main protagonists—Hinewai, a New Zealand Māori woman, and Nameless, a Pole—we encounter deceitful politicians and entrepreneurs promoting visions of "development" that wreak havoc on our Blue Planet. All of this is set against the backdrop of Polish and New Zealand nature, history, and myth, overseen by Nature herself—the wondrous, wise daughter of the Cosmos, who patiently warns her disobedient children but is equally capable of delivering a harsh reckoning.Marek Lechowicz’s book explores the hidden depths of human nature, blending elements of an ecological thriller with reflections on the condition of modern society. The author diagnoses our era as a time of vain materialism and hubris leading to "species blindness." More than just a literary thriller, it is a manifesto for a new consciousness, offering hope for a better tomorrow.
Summary
Children of the Ocean is a multi-layered contemporary novel that "thinks in images." It weaves together mythic-historical, social, adventure, and ecological elements with a cinematic flair; chapters function like individual scenes, and the narrative—shifting between New Zealand and Poland—creates a rhythm reminiscent of film editing. Consequently, a screenplay has been developed (CHILDREN OF THE OCEAN), and talks regarding its film adaptation are currently underway in New Zealand.
