Shikasta Recolonised Planet 5 Canopus in Argos Doris Lessing Books

I sort of knew what to expect as I had read this book years ago when it first came out. For some reason, it began running through my mind lately so I ordered another copy from Amazon. First one lost a long time ago. Reading it as a way older person really made me look at it differently. Made me wonder why the Canopans bothered. Kind of wish they had minded their own business in the first place. Also made me ponder what I can do now to make sure I go to Zone 3 or maybe 4. Want no part of Zone 6 or the planet. Much as I love it.

Shikasta Recolonised Planet 5 Canopus in Argos Doris Lessing Books Reviews

Recommended to me by a friend, as a rare piece of science-fiction by a Nobel prize winner in literature. I found the prose largely impossible to comprehend. To this day I could not tell you what the story was about, or what the arc of the plot was. And this is shocking, as I do read some pretty arcane stuff.
This book is a the first of a series of 5. Originallly intended to be one volume ,it grew into Canopus in Argos.
Shikasta,however does dtasnd on its own and is the strongest of the 5
While interesting, Shikasta tries to do too much with its mythological, historical, political themes describing the origen of humans, their societies and history.
A fascinating channeled work from Lessing.
This is my favorite book of all time. I must have read it six times, the last maybe ten years ago. Reading it again I am discovering so much more after completing a BA majoring in writing and cultural studies. If you want light entertainment it probably isn't for you, it can seem dark at times. If you have ever thought that things weren't quite right and maybe the world is a stranger place than it seems then dig in and you'll find great insight. Its a brilliant metaphor for subjectivity and the human condition.
good book
"Shikasta' is Earth. Were we used as a social experiment during our rise as a species by an advanced star system? Does the Old Testament contain our fragmented remembrance of the "though shalt not" advice of that system? But, on a higher plane, Lessing gives a warning about our future if we continue to rape our planet with an economic theology of consumerism and of political, racial, and religious division.
