From the inside front page:
The narrator of this extraordinary tale is a man in search of truth. He answers an ad in a local newspaper from a teacher looking for serious pupils, only to find himself alone in an abandoned office with a teacher?" he asks incredulously. "I am the teacher," the gorilla replies.
Ishmael is a creature of immense wisdom and he has a story to tell, one that no human being has ever heard before. It is a story that extends backward and forward over the life span of the earth from the birth of time to a future there is still time to save. Like all great teachers, Ishmael refuses to make the lesson easy: he demands that the final illumination come from within ourselves. It begins with a simple but powerful question: Is it man's destiny to rule the world? Or is a higher destiny possible for him--one more wonderful that he has ever imagined?
