Synopsis

This book tells the story of Feinius Farsaidh, grandfather of Gaedhal Glas, from the time he became king of Scythia and determined to master all the world's languages after the confusion of tongues at Nimrod's Tower. Farsaidh's ultimate quest takes him to the Plain of Seanair, from which he intended to return to his people with the gift of speech. The author does not portray Farsaidh as a conqueror but as a curious mind and a scholar determined to unify his people. Farsaidh's lifelong quest to learn all the world's languages serves as a metaphor for humanity's quest for understanding.
