<\/p>\n

The Ground<\/em> is a story about how a dreamer can become a dictator, and about the destruction that follows when love transforms into a hunger for power.<\/p>\n

It is a symbolist allegory about human nature, love, and authority, and about how the end of the world becomes inevitable when harmony and balance are subordinated to the desire for control and domination.<\/p>\n
