Pearlman was
inspired by a passage in the Spanish epic poem La Araucana, which I have
translated. In the original story, a Spanish soldier, after a battle, is
accosted by an Indian woman who asks him to lead her to her husband's body, to
pay her last respects. In the original story, she disappears.
In Pearlman the
hero is contemporary, but he does time and space travel to those legendary
times, and the woman turns out to be Auchimalgen, the Araucanian Moon Goddess.
She seduces and enlightens him.
There is a backdrop of Chile, with its
incredibly volatile ecosphere and long history of protracted conflict. This
story combines romance with sci-fi and time travel. Check out the reviews. As well!
