"My Year With The Gods" by Holden Braithwaite on Amazon Kindle
5-star Kindle http://goo.gl/fSvz1N
An intense, character-driven study of the absurd where humorous overtones mask a deeply subversive, perverse undercurrent in this ancient world adventure story like no other. An 11-year old idiot boy (savant fou) has been orphaned twice. First when his parents died. Then the old Greek scholar who took him in and educated him died. Leaving him to fend for himself with a very challenging legacy: a collection of pornography from across the ancient world which even a pope would envy, and the degenerate sultan desperately wants translated. And the original, ‘secret’ unabridged Epectesy of St. Gregory of Nyssa. The soul’s moving into the oneness of God - the socially explosive key to the eternal cerebral orgasm. Handed down from Gregory’s scribe for generations until it ended up with Aristophanes, who being without issue left it in the care of an idiot gypsy boy who remembers everything except his own name. This book is the first part of the idiot boy’s ‘diary’, about the extraordinary adventure he has with ‘the gods’, following Demetrius (Hermes), Andromeda and Scheherazade in search of Lesbia. And how they are responsible for igniting regime change and the emancipation of women in Eudaemon (Aden) in 534CE in their bid to free her. 5-star Kindle http://goo.gl/fSvz1N Last edited by megapix99; 12-03-2016 at 01:43 AM.
