Concerning ideology, the author uses every opportunity to show why these aliens in general and certain terrestrial humans in particular are committed to peaceful practices and the avoidance of violence. The aliens are of course shown using scientific progress in order to enjoy a high standard of living. The inventions that the aliens use reminds us of science fiction films.

War breaks out several times too often; presented as it is, it comes to look like an inevitability in practically each of these situations, which doesn't seem to be what Mahfouz means.

But the strengths of the text easily outweigh all the weaknesses. An enjoyable and thoughtful novel, certainly recommended,” and gave it a rating of A-.

As I was getting down to work on the piece, I remember feeling (and it was the feeling as such that brought me to my work, given that work is the consequence of inspiration, not the other way around)...therefore, I remember feeling that I could express "the marvellous" through music alone, by my own colours, my own tonal order....the "marvellous" being essentially warm and emotive, but in a modern way, a warm-and-emotive lyrical feeling experienced by every genuine scientist or physicist (not meta- physicist) in the face of the inexorable "accuracy"....and the primaeval power of the forces of Nature. And it is in that tale - the tale which tells itself alone, devoid of human presence - it is in that objectivism that the deflection from the old, romanticistic, anthropomorphic sentimentality lies.

The Epic of Utnoa ( is an epic by the Catalan writer Abel Montagut, published in Vienna, Austria, in 1993 and originally written in Esperanto. It consists of seven cantos, and of 7095 verses in all, in an Alexandrine-derived Metre – a variant featuring 15 syllables rather than the usual 14.Canto 1 contains 831 verses; canto 2, 968; canto 3, 883; canto 4, 799; canto 5, 1236; canto 6, 1017; canto 7, 1361 The songs are inspired by major epics from world literature such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Aeneid, the Bible, the Ramayana, the Iliad, and by modern authors such as Papini, Asimov and others – especially as far as the treatment of the primaeval flood is concerned. The book is contextualized by a foreword (by William Auld) and an afterword by Probal Dasgupta.

Their society is loosely governed by a chief called a Gurg, who spends most of his time demanding food from his underlings. Voldemort has employed giants in his attacks, after convincing them that he can offer them a better life; whereas Hagrid reveals in Order of the Phoenix that he and Madame Maxime went to try and persuade the Giants to take part in the war against Voldemort, but were thwarted when the Gurg was killed and his successor sided with their enemies. Presumably, as a result, giants took part in the Battle of Hogwarts at the end of the series, mostly fighting for Voldemort. The portrayal of giants as a dying breed is consistent with much of European folklore, where they are frequently described as primaeval creatures who built ruins and created strange landforms long before humans arrived.

In 1804, Jameson succeeded Dr Walker as the third Regius Professor of Natural History at the University of Edinburgh, a post which he held for fifty years. During this period he became the first eminent exponent in Britain of the Wernerian geological system, or Neptunism, and the acknowledged leader of the Scottish Wernerians, founding and presiding over the Wernerian Natural History Society in 1808 until around 1850, when his health began to decline, together with the fortunes of the Society. Jameson's support for Neptunism, a theory that argued that all rocks had been deposited from a primaeval ocean, initially pitted him against James Hutton (1726–1797), a fellow Scot and eminent geologist also based in Edinburgh (but not in the university), who argued for uniformitarianism, a theory that saw the features of the Earth's crust being caused by natural processes over geologic time. Later in life, Jameson renounced Neptunism when he found it untenable and converted to the views of his opponent, Hutton.

"The Deluge", frontispiece to Gustave Doré's illustrated edition of the Bible A flood myth or deluge myth is a myth in which a great flood, usually sent by a deity or deities, destroys civilization, often in an act of divine retribution. Parallels are often drawn between the flood waters of these myths and the primaeval waters which appear in certain creation myths, as the flood waters are described as a measure for the cleansing of humanity, in preparation for rebirth. Most flood myths also contain a culture hero, who "represents the human craving for life". The flood-myth motif occurs in many cultures as seen in: the Mesopotamian flood stories, Pralaya in Hinduism, the Gun-Yu in Chinese mythology, Deucalion and Pyrrha in Greek mythology, the Genesis flood narrative, Bergelmir in Norse mythology, the arrival of the first inhabitants of Ireland with Cessair in Irish mythology, the lore of the K'iche' and Maya peoples in Mesoamerica, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans in North America, the Muisca and Cañari Confederation in South America, Africa, and some Aboriginal tribes in Australia.

But an alternative interpretation of Pandora’s curiosity makes it merely an extension of childish innocence. This comes out in portrayals of Pandora as a young girl, as in Walter Crane’s “Little Pandora” spilling buttons while encumbered by the doll she is carrying, Victoria & Albert Museum in Arthur Rackham’s book illustrationWikimedia and Frederick Stuart Church’s etching of an adolescent girl taken aback by the contents of the ornamental box she has opened.Art of the Print The same innocence informs Odilon Redon’s 1910/12 clothed figure carrying a box and merging into a landscape suffused with light,Wikimedia and even more the 1914 version of a naked Pandora surrounded by flowers, a primaeval Eve in the Garden of Eden.Metropolitan Museum Such innocence, “naked and without alarm” in the words of an earlier French poet, portrays Pandora more as victim of a conflict outside her comprehension than as temptress.

These negated or diminished the gifts of God to Adam and Eve of original justice or sanctifying grace, integrity, immortality and infused knowledge. This first sin was "transmitted" by Adam and Eve to all of their descendants as original sin, causing humans to be "subject to ignorance, suffering and the dominion of death, and inclined to sin." In the light of modern scripture scholarship, the future Pope Benedict XVI stated in 1986 that: “In the Genesis story ... sin is not spoken of in general as an abstract possibility but as a deed, as the sin of a particular person, Adam, who stands at the origin of humankind and with whom the history of sin begins. The account tells us that sin begets sin, and that therefore all the sins of history are interlinked. Theology refers to this state of affairs by the certainly misleading and imprecise term ‘original sin.’” Although the state of corruption, inherited by humans after the primaeval event of Original Sin, is clearly called guilt or sin, it is understood as a sin acquired by the unity of all humans in Adam rather than a personal responsibility of humanity.
