Synopsis
Synopsis -A magnificent epic of danger, desire, triumph and tragedy, Piers Anthony’s SHAME OF MAN is nothing less than the story of humanity itself. It is the story of two lovers reborn throughout history – Hugh, a dreamer and musician, and his beloved Ann, a beautiful dancer – as they struggle to preserve their family and their way of life during some of the most turbulent periods of our savage past – and our troubled future. Through their eyes we experience humanity’s greatest achievements, and witness its greatest shame, the relentless exploitation of nature that now threatens our very survival.
