Thinking the Twentieth Century

Beschreibung

Two explorers set out on a journey from which only one of them will return. Their unknown land is that often fearsome continent we call the 20th Century. Their route is through their own minds and memories. Thinking the Twentieth Century is about the life of the mind - and the mindful life.
