BOOK SUMMARY
Plans of the Deathless Gods.
The time: the seven years (1785-1792) before the breakup of European order instigated by the French Revolution.
The scene: Prussia, South Africa, New Zealand.
The characters: Curt Christoph von Allmen, who proposes the plan of a New Zealand sealing station as medium of commerce with China; his twin sister Maria, who composes an epic poem to commemorate its founding; their friend, philosopher Adam Sixtus lEstrange, whose ruminations on the times issue in a surprising discovery.
The plot: Curt Christoph, a philhellene, envisions New Zealand as the scene of a restored Apollonianismwhich his sisters epic playfully portrays, and Adam Sixtus philosophical discovery ironically supports.
