Excerpt from The Book Agent; His Book
HE preface of a good book may be brief; few apologies are required. This work is not a book, but a series of literary etch ings on the landscapes of humanity.
These etchings placed in composite arrangement on the mirror of life form a satire which attaches itself to the image of those who look therein.
What a picturesque figure in literature il Don Quixote charging upon the windmills! But these etchings impale over against the mind's horizon the figure of a windmill pursuing the Don Quixotes of our modern age. And what man is not a Don Quixote, since the smallest vicissitude of life may change his dearest reality to a mere phantasm, so that his charge is upon the void? In such spirit has our author writ.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique philosophical autobiography written by Joshua Wright, a former book agent with an education in the liberal arts. Wright's experiences traveling and selling books led him to contemplate the nature and significance of life, truth, and existence. The book is a meditation on the nature of personal identity, the search for truth and meaning, and the often comical interplay between our aspirations and our reality. Wright's literary style is characterized by self-deprecating humor, philosophical musings, and wry observations on the human condition. This book offers a distinctive perspective on life's complexities, exploring themes of self-discovery, the nature of truth, and the often-absurd yet beautiful experiences of being human.
