2002 - The Years Of Rice And Salt

Discuss the novel The Years Of Rice And Salt

I am no specialist, but I will try to find more information.

An internet search has produced the following:

"He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return."
Koran 2:28, very close to the first quote

"I tell you of a truth, that the spirits which now have affinity will be kindred together, although they all meet in new persons and names"
This seems to come from "The New Koran", whatever that might be (Sufi?).
