In his compelling and fresh sixth book Craig A. Grimes takes a
speculative look on history, power, and society. How so often
little things lead to unforeseen big things, and carefully planned
big things so often lead to nothing. A Distant Mountain takes one
to The Valley of Mexico about 1350. The Aztecs have yet to rise to
power; they are just one of the many Nahua city-states making up,
as they knew it, the One World. What we know of these people,
crushed in an eye-blink, generally begins and ends with ritual
blood sacrifice. Yet at that time they had the most modern society
of any in the world with, uniquely, free public education for all
children, hospitals, efficiently managed public works, an ethical
judicial system, and government supported associations that cared
for the needy. The towns and cities were orderly, clean, prosperous
and efficient. Which suggests that their society had both a
rational and irrational aspect to it- like most. Age and youth,
peace and war, death and love, the strikingly beautiful story is
alive with a truth and understanding that illuminate the soul as a
marvellous dream.
