Floating World - D G Voller - Bog

Containing over 80 original art works by artist/ author D. G. Voller, 'The Floating World' is a place of hidden secrets. Seen through the eyes of a small boy in a remote mountain village these secrets reveal the power of dreams and creativity to have a transforming effect on the world around him. Jiemba rises from rejection and adversity, by the gift of the imagination, to become one of the most exalted and influential people of his culture.
He dreams of a "floating world'. A world of new possibilities, elevating the ordinary into the extraordinary, for everyone who yearns for brilliance in life.
The story involves Jiemba, a crippled orphan growing up in an obscure highland village. He is facing both physical and emotional mountains but is taken in and educated by the village scribe, a man named Waru. This man recognises Jiemba's sharp mind and gift of imagination, but it is Jiemba himself who sees his own path and climbs to great heights, becoming esteemed as a brilliant innovator by a world that is hungry for change.
