A stock trader suffering from burnout sits on a park bench, and two men attack him. Was it a random act or deliberate? To escape danger, he makes a radical decision to flee to a place where he cannot be found. He does something entirely outside his character by escaping New York City and going to the Costa Brava in Spain. There, he joins a quirky poetry workshop, as no one would expect him to be there. By escaping his attackers, can this give him time to think about the direction and meaning of his life?
Instead, he ends up facing greater challenges. He quickly realizes he is out of place when encountering a group of literary-types that exist in an artsy realm of prose and fantasy. He wonders how these nutty people can live like this? His world is the world of finance, economics, stocks, bonds, and numbers. These students live by quite different perspectives and beliefs, even from each other, and the conflicts between them expose the problems they carry. Can these misguided and messed up people help him, if at all?
Seeking insight, he meets a mysterious artist who leads him out of his comfort zone into a world of poetry and beauty. He is captivated by her because she is so different from the people in his social circles, but he also rebels at the way she perceives the world. Then, he realizes that she may have a unique gift, the ability to help him examine his broken past. Can she enable him to develop a will to face the forces out to destroy him?
This uncommon novel is different from most action thriller stories you find on Amazon and in bookstores. It is a version in miniature of people in today's culture, with such diverse characters as a materialistic stockbroker, a person who believes there is no absolute truth, a Christian who questions the events in her life, and someone who thinks that 'all is one.' Can any of these people live consistently within their belief systems? And, what happens when these worldviews collide?
This book contains elements not found in typical novels. It is embedded with photos, art, and poetry. And, it contains steps to wisdom, as taught by the teacher of the workshop.
While the book has an action thriller beginning, it quickly moves into a literary examination of seeing the lovely details and colors in natures, and through this, it opens your mind to the possibility of thinking differently through the use of similes and metaphors. It is an ideal book for all high school and university students by interconnecting the worlds of literature, social sciences, religion, and philosophy. Parents and grandparents will love this story. It is available as a Kindle ebook, paperback and on Amazon Prime and Kindle Unlimited.
With poetic and philosophical undertones, this novel is for those seeking deeper themes. Rich with a compelling plot combined with descriptions of a picturesque Mediterranean village, this extraordinary story will heighten your senses and may even transform how you experience reality.
