Beginning in the earliest origins of our ancient ancestors who emerged from the Eden of Africa millions of years ago, Shame of Man follows two lovers -- Hugh, a dreamer and musician, and his beloved Ann, a beautiful dancer -- as they struggle to preserve their family and their way of life during some of the most turbulent periods of our savage past.
Their saga takes them from the caves of prehistoric Europe to the Holy Land in the time of King David, through the imperial court of third-century Japan, and Damascus in the early days of Islam, to Central Asia in the era of Genghis Khan, and the fallen paradise of Easter island, concluding with a harrowing glimpse of our future in the wreckage of a world devastated by global ecological catastrophe. Through their eyes we experience humanity's greatest triumphs, and witness it's greatest shame, the relentless exploitation of nature that now threatens our very survival.

Synopsis -A magnificent epic of danger, desire, triumph and tragedy, Piers Anthony’s SHAME OF MAN is nothing less than the story of humanity itself. It is the story of two lovers reborn throughout history – Hugh, a dreamer and musician, and his beloved Ann, a beautiful dancer – as they struggle to preserve their family and their way of life during some of the most turbulent periods of our savage past – and our troubled future. Through their eyes we experience humanity’s greatest achievements, and witness its greatest shame, the relentless exploitation of nature that now threatens our very survival.
