It all started when John “Minnie” Moore built a mine in Idaho and sold it to Englishman Henry Miller. Then Henry married a local lass named Annie and built her a mansion, hence the “Millers’ Minnie Moore Mine Mansion.” After Henry died and Annie was hoodwinked—losing all but the mansion—she and her son took to raising pigs in the yard, as some are wont to do. But the town wanted those pigs out. Who could have guessed that Annie and her crew would remove the whole mansion instead—rolling it away slowly on logs—while she and her son were still living in it?

Это книга о дверях и порогах: о входах в доисторические святилища, египетские, греческие и римские храмы, средневековые соборы, крепости, дворцы и виллы. Она о том, что делает их особенными — о символическом смысле, который вложили в них создатели. Каждая дверь знаменует собой переход, а порог — это некий рубеж между двумя реальностями, граница двух миров и двух состояний. Двери неразрывно связаны с понятиями изменения и эволюции, а порой становятся связующей нитью между сном и реальностью, светом и тенью, неведением и мудростью.
