THE SAGE IN LOVE AND THE CALIPH'S
GARDEN
A new
novel by Grian and Manuel Pimentel
17th June 2014
A new book by Grian will go on sale in Spain in early July. But
this time is a co-authored book, because El sabio enamorado y el jardín
del Califa (The Sage in Love and the Caliph's Garden) is a joint work of Grian and
Manuel Pimentel, author, publisher and former Minister of Labour and Social Affairs of the
Government of Spain.
This new book builds on the Grian's novel Mahabbat to
address again "The Science of Love", both in its human dimension and the spiritual and holistic
one.
In the most beautiful city in the known world, Medina
Azahara, a timeless story lights the secrets of a heart in love. A novel to delve into the
complex path of love through a bridge between the 10th and the 21st centuries.

"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

"Grian, like Gibran Khalil Gibran, like Tagore and, in some
respects, like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in The Little Prince, like some stories by Gabriela Mistral... unveils
the infinite, the enormity of each unique, unrepeatable, and creative human being... He
is a brave and moved storyteller, 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 Director-General (1987-1999)

| Author, psychologist, educator,
translator, communicator, and social activist, Grian has brought his vision of a new
and better world to every corner in the world. It is this vision of a new world
that drove him to setting up a pacifist NGO, the Avalon Project -
Initiative for a Culture of Peace, and that has led him to his academic research in the field of
Social Education, trying to convey a systemic view of reality through spirituality of
nature and myths, legends and folktales from cultures and traditions from all around the
world. |
