Composed in the key of terror, The Tree of the Doves offers an engaging account of Christopher Merrills travels to distant parts of the world. From jungle to desert to sea, from cities to ruins, he explores how history is shaped by ceremonies, expeditions, and wars.He observes the performance of a banned ritual in Malaysia, retraces SaintJohn Perses epic journey from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar, and tours the Levant in the wake of the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Encountering a wide range of people along the wayartists and politicians, soldiers and refugeesMerrill is as attentive to their individuality as he is attuned to the historical, social, and cultural situations in which they find themselves.In three extended essays, he poses fundamental but nonetheless provocative questionsWhere do we come from? Where are we going? What shall we do?which lead him to conclude that the changes we are witnessing now presage the end of one order and the creation of another.Lively and insightful, empathetic and illuminating, The Tree of the Doves is an important book, as contemporary as it is timeless.
