Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Human intellect would break down without some answers, however self-deluding, to the perennial questions of Who am I, where did I come from, where am I going, what is this all about and, perhaps most importantly, why? This is the story of a young seeker whose quest for self-discovery is propelled by his intense curiosity, creative imagination and sense of adventure. Each time he goes around a full circle he finds himself elevated on a spiral path reaching into uncertain heights. He meets living and life-like characters that accompany him on his journey. His mission takes him through uncharted territories that alternate between surreal dreamscapes, bone chilling heights and scorching wastelands. Each section raises fundamental questions that we all need to have answered, whether we are casual readers or advanced academics. Many comfortable precepts are challenged, inviting the readers to open new windows into their own souls and to the world outside, where the shades of gray attain the colors of the rainbow in a new light. There are elements of geography, history, cultural habits, philosophy, mythology and mysticism to stimulate the quest of the inquisitive minds. Even though this book could best be classified as a philosophical adventure novel, the accounts are to some extent autobiographical. However, as is the case with any autobiography, the narrative is inevitably idealized to serve the authors visions of how things should have or could have been. And, as is the case with many books of fiction, threads of the authors own life story are interwoven in the fabric of the text. All copies will be signed by the author.
