My tales (five) are advised within the first individual and encouraged via the "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam, the 12th century thinker and Edgar Allen Poe. They inform of rape, homicide, a philandering preacher, an engineer pushed to the gates of madness through his perfectionist beliefs and a despondent professor trying to go away his legacy by way of attempting to turn out Carl Jung's concept of the collective unconscious.
I were writing on those tales for many years because the spirit could circulate me to jot down. while somebody asks me what they're approximately, or to summarize them, my mind kind of is going into impartial and that i fairly do not know the place to begin. I in general attempt to switch the topic in view that I can’t summarize in 4000 characters or much less what I had for breakfast this morning. If the inquisitive individual is continual I easily supply to allow them to learn the e-book after which they alter the subject.
