After many trials and tribulations, 3 surgeries in two months, I am ready
to confront my book again. I shall post it on kindle and whatever other site
I can find, however I need to create an synopsis. I tried this before and wasn’t
happy with the results. I am trying again, so here is another attempt.

Our protagonist tries to discover the answers to such evocative questions as,

what is freedom? What is the meaning of life? What is nihilism? His journey is
one we must all take. He is trying to find out, what does life mean, both individually and
collectively. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we have forgotten the greatest mystery,
the greatest question of all, who are we? Are we human beings who write grand and beautiful
symphonies or are we the builders of Auschwitz and Dachau?

The answer to those two questions is yes, but how is that possible and why? It is a terrifying
journey into what it means to be a human being.
In the light of Auschwitz and Beethoven 5th symphony, what is next for us?

Your answers can be found on this earth and the diversity of life. We are a part of that life, children of this world just as the rest of life is. In our sibling creatures we can find our paths and answers. Think about this: Studies have been done by the thousands on most species. Parts of a whole. Has anyone ever taken the massive effort to put the pieces together? No. From the depths of the oceans to the highest peak in the mountains we have gathered for generations massive amounts of data. Put it together Peter and find your answers.

I vaguely remember your last synopsis, and if my vague memory serves me vaguely well, I think this one sounds much better.

Although I wonder if ‘the human soul on trial’ as a motif is cliche in the literary world…?
