Realmah

A weary reader, appalled by the wars and ambitions filling the newspapers, turns from the troubled modern world to a very different kind of story. In the distant land of Abibah, the Sheviri have built a lake city with distinctive laws, religious customs, and systems of government—an ideal society that invites admiration, curiosity, and plenty of scrutiny.

At its center is Realmah, a thoughtful and energetic young man whose encounters with marriage, politics, and public duty draw him into the life of the Sheviri. As he learns the ways of this unfamiliar civilization, questions of faith, authority, justice, and human nature emerge beneath the surface of its seemingly orderly institutions. Told with wit and reflection, the narrative blends adventure, social speculation, romance, and lively debate, offering listeners both an imagined world to explore and a searching commentary on their own.
