Opis

There is a fine line between sanity and madness... When five-year-old Viktor Szabo flees the havoc wreaked upon his beloved Hungary by the Nazis, his father vows that his son will no longer have to suffer the cruel cycle of Fascism and Communism which has visited his homeland for decades. But his father's promise cannot shield Viktor from the mind-bending ravages of a visitor that comes to him in the night...plunging him into a maelstrom of doubt about everything he has ever believed. The author says, ""When I was just a kid, I remember giving some thought to the possibility that maybe things only existed in our minds," recalls the author. "Then not long ago, I discovered that the concept had been discussed and debated by ancient philosophers centuries before the birth of Christ, and the "philosophy" even has a name. Although I personally don't subscribe to the belief, it makes a fascinating premise for a story about a person that might." Journey with Viktor to America, and watch him blossom into adulthood. Marvel at his innate interpretive understanding of great works of poetry, and celebrate his venture into all night talk radio. Then be prepared to follow him as he walks that narrow line between sanity and madness, and the perilous abyss that awaits. Will he find that his life was nothing more than just a dream? Or will he learn that his mind is the biggest lie of all?
