"A new world must be made up of
new persons, with other ways of being, thinking, feeling, doing...," the Eagle
continued.
"And that must be done day by day, minute by minute. You must
be impeccable."
Grian, in
Beyond the Rainbow

Since the publication of The Gardener, in 1996, the deep but simple words of Grian have
reached the heart of hundred of thousands of readers from all around the world.
His short stories, his tales, and his essays have awakened the
consciousness of thousands and thousands of people who keep his books at the bedside table as
if they were life-handbooks or underline sentences and read its pages once and
again trying to find between its ideas, images, and feelings something intangible that
get them in touch with the deepest level of their souls.

"Grian, like Gibran Khalil Gibran, like Tagore and, in some
respects, like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in The Little Prince, like some stories of Gabriela Mistral... unveils the
infinite, the enormity of each human being, unique, unrepeatable, creative... He is a moved
and courageous teller, because he do not avoid to begin with himself, with his own physical
and mental reality, with his environment, with his essential questions, with his
answers..."
Dr.
Federico Mayor Zaragoza, UNESCO General Manager (1987-1999)

people who are wanting to participate in making a better world, a project
