Padre Mio

Il Don Gioavnni

Mozart's Don Giovanni

A complete, newly translated libretto featuring foreign/English translation side-by-side, plus music examples.

There is a fable that suggests the world will end on December 21, 2012, the last day of the Mayan calendar. ANCIENT ANGER tells the tale of a 105 year old Mayan priest, a drug dealer hiding from his crimes and two driven anthropologists searching for the truth to this very ominous prediction. It begins when Dr. Albert Poliska uncovers a pristine Mayan wall carved with unreadable hieroglyphics in 1976. This sets in motion a series of events that span 25 years of archeological turmoil, offering answers to questions about who the Mayans were, where they went and the possibility of their return. Then Dr. Richard Halden joins Poliska in a quest to find Padre Mio, the ancient priest whose international cult of worshipers still follow the ancient ways, from self mutilation to human sacrifice. Each is driven by a need to understand the truths of the ancient prophesy and strives to influence the possible fate of mankind. Set in Los Angeles, the Yucatan peninsula, New York, Louisiana and Sedona Arizona, ANCIENT ANGER throws the reader into a can't-put-it-down adventure that ends with a climax of spiritual and emotional calamity.
