Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book plunges into the heart of a philosophical clash between science and faith, materialism and spirituality, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world on the brink of war. The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Arnold Pennell, a scientist working at a cutting-edge Biological Institute dedicated to exploring the mysteries of life. The story delves into the institute's controversial experiments, particularly the audacious attempt to preserve life through suspended animation, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and the ethical boundaries of scientific exploration. As Pennell grapples with the implications of his work and the contrasting ideologies of his colleagues, the author masterfully weaves in themes of societal transformation, the rise of eugenics, and the erosion of traditional values. Through vivid descriptions and thought-provoking dialogues, this book invites readers to contemplate the potential consequences of unchecked scientific progress and the enduring conflict between reason and belief. Ultimately, the narrative challenges us to consider whether humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and control might come at the cost of our very souls.
