Need to Want

Viac o knihe

If you believe you are the last little group of people in the world, living as in the stone age on an small, isolated island, would you want to try to continue the human race? If your answer's yes – what would be the reason for that; in other words – what would you consider the crucial, main sense of human existence? In Need to Want, by following the lives of Bruce and his family, Sava Buncic deals with these questions and some other issues that are inseparably interconnected with them. Can we feel fulfilled when all our basic needs are met and we live in balance with the nature we essentially depend on, or do we need much more to be happy? Why and when do greed and selfishness make individuals start neglecting the higher interests of society and even endagering the fate of future generations? Is this because some unconcious urge pushes our human race towards self-destruction? Can the most sublime creation of nature, the human mind, control its own dark side? This novel inevitably provokes you, the reader, to search for your personal answers to those unknowns and dilemas, reflecting the troubled relationship of modern civilization with the nature that keeps our planet alive.
