Bruce L. Cook has recently finished a seminal work, a novel -- I would say a modern classic, The Harmony of Nations: 1943 - 2020. The novel creates a superb background upon which the modern world affairs have been placed and sometimes juxtaposed in order to discover the nature of the modern life and the fate of mankind.
The novel touches on almost all aspects of human life, but what is of special interest to me in this regard is that it views life from the central point -- at least as history has shown us: that the entire panorama of life is taking place in a kaleidoscope colored by the horrors of war. |
