Synopsis of
The Eagle &
the Dove. |
|
Introduction
The 'The
Eagle & the Dove'
is an original story centred
in Spain, during the close of
the 16th century.
It is divided into
four parts consisting of
thirty chapters and roughly
90,000 words, but the book
itself delves a lot deeper,
dealing with
relationship between people
and nature, their religion,
beliefs, fears and loves.
It also touches upon some of
our baser instincts, our
superstitions and ignorance of
what is around us. But
the positive sides also show
that love, understanding and
respect can flourish and
will win through the most
diverse of ways.
You have read the first three
parts and I hope to bring more
online over the coming months.
This synopsis will give the
outline to the rest of the
story parts 4.,
