Kepler’s Blood
- wrote it when he was 17 with all information
stories he heard:
- died in the west (
- everyone said he was a painter (paintings at wall / landscapes)
- aunt: fallen off a sliff
- uncle: indians rescued him
book:
- part western part science fiction
- unbelievable points – everything happens by chance
- had been often rejected
story:
- John Kepler (35) leaves wife, son for 6 months (Utah & Arizona)
- falls off cliff rescued by indians
- they seem isolated, primitive – doesn’t know them
- BUT: don’t have Indian features (blue eyes, hair on chests)
- calls them “the Humans”
the Humans:
lived on the Moon
carried by a spirit cloud to the Earth (Forrest of First Things)
meet “the Others” – get help/knowledege (plants animals)
live in harmony
Wild Men from other Side of the World killed them (bearded ones) with thunder and lighting sticks
Humans and Others split – travel westwards – wild men follow
Discover “Flat World” – “Land In The Sky” – “Land of Little Water” (wild men refused to live there)
- first doesnt understand language – learns few words – can pronounce their words – better hearing
- words sound like remnants (Überreste) of english words (coincidence – tests)
- THEORY:
- Indians are “the Others” – that place looks like moon
- populations becomes fewer – a dream: dead man will rescue them (deliverance)
