The story poses the question of how far back in time do we look to predict the cause and effect of present events on future generations.\u003cbr\u003eThe Tame Truffler takes its name from how a Stone Age man hears the words ‘Time Traveller’ said in a Scottish accent. He finds himself in a dilemma – integrate with the locals and inevitably affect their development, or live a solitary life. To live with humans theoretically would cause a distortion of history but no matter which way he goes, he is likely to upset the course of anthropology.\u003cbr\u003eHe recognized that without companionship he would be on the slippery slope to insanity. When he was shown the cave a pregnant silence descended, that electric period before something momentous happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e… the hand lifted my palm to his lips and his palm to my lips.

A man from an advanced technological age was now brother to a man of the Stone Age and proud of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156590313712,"sku":"2940152910162","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152910162_p0.jpg?v=1764026155","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152910162","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
