Kalki | Gore Vidal

“O mundo inteiro estava em crise, mas ninguém sabia o que fazer. Então Kalki apareceu, trazendo uma nova Ordem Mundial. Ele falou de abraçar a diversidade, de abandonar a desigualdade e de se unir para lutar contra a injustiça. Ele disse que todos deveríamos ser responsáveis pelos outros, que deveríamos trabalhar juntos para construir um futuro melhor e que deveríamos viver de acordo com uma moral elevada.“

This book by Gore Vidal is one of the most insidiously creeptacular books I have ever read. Kalki is a self-anointed prophet predicting the end of times. #FunFridayPhoto #scarybooks

BookishFeminist 😱 this sounds frightening 8y
CherylDeFranceschi @BookishFeminist I'm not easily scared, but it's pretty darn creepy. I read it a bajillion ages ago and still remember all of it vividly. 8y
