Book Description
Where once was a beautiful wood now stands a desolate field smothered in ash and garbage, and here a young man named Waller has terrorizing encounters with grotesque figures named "the garbagemen." As Waller becomes fascinated with these desperate men who eke out a survival by rooting through their nation's waste, he imagines they are also digging through its past as their government erases its history and walls itself off from the outside world. One of celebrated East German author Wolfgang Hilbig's most accessible and resonant works,The Tidings of the Trees is about the politics that rip us apart, the stories we tell for survival, and the absolute importance of words to nations and people. Featuring some of Hilbig's most striking, poetic, and powerful images, this flawless novella perfectly balances politics and literature.

By now man's science has advanced to such a level that man can understand many things which he could not understand previously. Hence The Creator has decided to reveal the full truth to a man. The Tiding series tells how the Universe was created-and why, how it is being governed, and, yes, the very important role which man on Earth is expected is to play in its further development. In this volume-the final volume of the six-volume series-are covered such topics as discussions about Christs teachings and life, redemption and forgiving of sins, the duty of the church and priests, the true meaning of Christmas, mans understanding of God, the relationship between God and man, human nature and progress, The Almighty and the Universe, how people are received in Heaven, free will, the last hours of Christs life on Earth, the evils of war, conversing with spirits, and much more.
