ALAN AGRIPPA,
a modern-day sojourner through Great Britain, embarks upon a journey that
encompasses geographical terrain as well as mental terrain. While exploring
the metropolitan and rural areas of England, Scotland, and Ireland, he
immerses himself in a broad range of philosophical challenges in order to
develop understanding of a world that up until this point is, to him, unknown.
Intellectually,
he is propelled toward finding answers to such questions as:
-
What is the history of The United Kingdom and what are the great
beauties and intrigues of its
museums, landmarks, and castles?
-
What is the nature of physics, mysticism, and explorative
psychology in reference to himself
and his surroundings?
Experientially,
he becomes versed in the idiosyncrasies of the people and the places.
-
He encounters, among others, a quantum scholar, a compassionate
Jesuit priest, and an alluring female purveyor of voodoo.
-
He philosophizes in response to the elegant cathedrals and
moving landscapes: Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Scottish
coast.
Romantically,
he meets and falls in love with, Ronia Vintras, a French foreign exchange
student.
-
Discovering a compatriot in the game of life, he sets out for
hedonistic pleasures and stimulating,
fulfilling companionship.
-
The journey, now including two, mirrors a great mystic voyage
that evolves along a spectrum of inquiry, experience, rapprochement.
The
story is not without its sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. The overwhelming
theme is one of transcendence, but transcendence in the sense of humanistic
experience of a broad range. An individualistic spirit permeates this book in
an avant-garde, almost counter-cultural way. The protagonist represents that
which resides in the human spirit: an encapsulation of youthful idealism,
romantic longings, and unbridled pursuit of genius.
The reader is openly encouraged to
engage in the events to a much more meaningful degree than the usual novel.
Traditional notions of morality, politics, and love will be challenged and
hopefully this revolution of thought will prove invigorating, and, perhaps
edifying. Finally, the conclusion presents a full-circle realization to the
reader that the entire journey fulfilled a promise and achieved its destiny:
an answer to the question, “Why?”
