The Other Side Of This Life : Ruminations On Love

Each man's life is a diary in which he means to write one story, but writes another. The conflict which rages in every man's soul is the gap between his ideals and his actions.A genius, who is in some ways an Everyman, has led a heroically sacrificial life; then, by chance, he meets a beautiful woman, is overcome by lust, makes love to her, and destroys his image of himself as a good man. Because his infidelity is never discovered, he finds himself seeking his lover, and other lovers, again and again; drawn to the other side of his life, the side which is so different from what he wants his life to be. This is a philosophical novel about love, and the effect that love has on life, about how difficult it is to find true love and to hold on to it. It is a lyrically written novel of ideas, regarding love and lust, guilt and shame, and how people deal with their own moral failings and failures in love. It will reach into the bottom of your soul, bringing forth thoughts and emotions that have lain hidden there for years. It will give you a quiet joy, and, once in a while, break you down in tears. Reading this book, will expose you to new ideas, and truths, which will illuminate and change your life forever, and for the better.This is the novel which will get men reading serious fiction again, and give women an insight into the soul of Everyman.
