Books That Remind You Of Avatar.

[neytirifanboy]

I just finished reading the forests of Albion by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

In reality, the only thing that is similar to Avatar is the Diety.

It takes place in early Roman Britain. It deals with the lives of one generation of people as Rome takes hold of Britain and (towards the end of the book) the beginning of Chritian Britian.

The main character is called Eilan who is a priestess of the Goddess, the principal diety of the pagan Britons at the time. The nature of the Goddess is very similar to Eywa, at least in how the believers see her as she is princially a goddess of nature. However, she does not interfere so much as Eywa, although she does make her presence felt through visions and dreams.

From a personal point of view, I found it interesting because it is one of the closest representations I have seen of my own beliefs.

Talking about the Romans, Tacitus made a statement about the Romans that could be refer to the RDA: "They make a desert, and call it peace."
