Reseña del libro "The Camel, the Lion and the Child (en Inglés)"
A Cold War biography based on Friedrich Nietzsche's fable of self-realisation - his story of the self. A TRANSCENDENT CAREERIt is the journey to enlightenment of a thinking man's spirit. He wants passionately to end the Cold War, in which arsenals of ICBMs threaten and civilians are shot escaping border barbed wire.Self is a self-determined man whose spirit parallels a fable by philosopher Nietzsche in his book Thus Spake Zarathustra, about a spirit that becomes a camel that hastens into the wilderness, becoming a lion with freedom in its own wilderness, struggling with a dragon and at last becoming a child, innocent, curious and playful.He begins life in country UK, with farming, horse riding and shooting. His spirit transcends from farm worker to student engineer, to corporate acolyte, to administrative engineer, to principal engineer, to researcher, teacher and writer.His responsibilities increase, with industrial accidents, hippy stunts, owning a boutique and coordinating computing. He travels in Central and South America, and investigates prospects for socialist governments in the UK. He experiences sailing and in a storm at sea he nearly drowns.His PhD project to end the Cold War is opposed by the dragon spirit of Gretchen, mother of his children.He is stymied in love and again in the academic process when his solution to the Cold War is delayed. Will his contribution be recognised?
