What is The Carpet Makers about?

These carpets are made from the hairs of wives and daughters; they are so detailed and fragile that each carpetmaker finishes only one single carpet in his entire lifetime.<P>This art descends from father to son, since the beginning of time itself.<P>But one day the empire of the God Emperor vanishes, and strangers begin to arrive from the stars to follow the trace of the hair carpets. What these strangers discover is beyond all belief, more than anything they could have ever imagined...<P>Brought to the attention of Tor Books by Orson Scott Card, this edition of <i>The Carpet Makers</i> contains a special introduction by Orson Scott Card.</p><h3>The New York Times - Gerald Jonas</h3><p>This is a novel of ideas that evokes complex emotions through the working out of an intricate and ultimately satisfying plot, with echoes of Gene Wolfe, Ursula Le Guin and Isaac Asimov. The smooth English translation is by Doryl Jensen.</p>
