How often are we told that we can't do this or that? That we are only like this or that, that we are just a child, a man, a woman, an employee and so on. Yet we are all so much more than what people have been trying to make us believe for centuries. We are all giants who have been told that we are just dwarves. This short story wants to remind you, that you too have giant-like powers. TRUTH - Recognize your true greatness Are you aware of what lies within you?

This short story simply wants to remind you of what a powerful being you truly are. We are all giants who were told that we were "only" dwarves.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory. In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven't seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.
