About the Book

A beautiful retelling of Jonah and Whale from The Bible. Forcefully taken from his Amazon rainforest home, Pupak is faced with assisting the very Brazilian white men who slaughtered his village. But the gods are angry that he's running from his destiny and after superstitious sailors toss him to the sea in order to calm a ranging storm, he is swallowed by a great, metal beast the white men call a submarine. INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR Q - How are the Amazon rainforests related to a story from The Bible? A - Based on the Book of Jonah, PUPAK AND THE GREAT FISH tells the fictional story of Pupak, a real-life native to the Amazonian rain forests and at the time of this story's publication was one of the last surviving members of the Akuntsu tribe. Some regard the Book of Jonah as a work of fiction. But whether the story is fiction or a true historical account, it beautifully illustrates how God's perspective of man's wrongdoing is far different than that of man. In this story, Pupak's tribe has largely been killed off by invasive efforts of Portuguese-speaking Brazilians and Pupak is forced to learn, as Jonah had, that despite his anger toward the Brazilians, revenge is not the answer. Q - What is The Masters Reimagined? A - In The Masters Reimagined, ten authors unite to bring something new to the classic stories of literature we all know so well. Masters like James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll, Herman Melville, Leo Tolstoy, and Shakespeare inspired the authors of the Alvarium Experiment in their quest to reinterpret, reinvent, and reshape the stories and characters through speculative twists and turns. This is the third project by the Alvarium Experiment, a consortium of accomplished and award-winning authors. Q - Where should a reader start when selecting a short story to read in The Masters Reimagined? A - Each story is self-contained and can be read in any order. The reader is free to select any of the stories at random to begin their experience. The book description will explain the premise for each particular story.
