Biologist Lyall Watson travels to Indonesia in search of magic… and finds a ‘dancing island’ and a girl who comes of age to become a shaman and healer. For those who simply enjoy a good story, this is an excellent book. For those who realize that the magic described in this book is real, it’s even better.
In Gifts of Unknown Things, discover the extraordinary island of Nus Tarian, in Indonesia, where everyday reality contains terrifying, inexplicable, and miraculous phenomena. Magical feats, extrasensory perception, and psychic healing are commonplace in this land where the natural and the supernatural coexist and challenge our beliefs about reality.
At once a scientific exploration and an imaginative adventure, Dr. Watson’s astonishing and life-transforming journey becomes our own, challenging many of our fixed beliefs about the “real world.”
