A novelette set in the distant future, perhaps thousands of years. Technology has been lost and advancement suppressed. The people have either given up or been stripped of will, freedom, and individuality. The family unit no longer exists as the entire life cycle from conception to death is institutionalized; severely conditioning children to value only service to their brother man and never stand out or above. However, the true human spirit proves difficult to suppress for ever and always as one bright, curious young man, after making an amazing discovery, trail blazes a new way of life ... ...

No single character holds the absolute truth; rather, their identities are shaped by both their own experiences and the ...

Ce n'était pas une petite tâche que de peindre les deux ou trois mille figures saillantes d'une époque, car telle est, en définitif, la somme des types que présente chaque génération et que La Comédie Humaine comportera. Ce nombre de figures, de caractères, cette multitude d'existences exigeaient des cadres, et, qu'on me pardonne cette expression, des galeries. De là, les divisions si naturelles, déjà connues, de mon ouvrage en Scènes de la vie privée, de province, parisienne, politique, militaire et de campagne. Dans ces six livres sont classées toutes les Études de moeurs qui...

The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God, God's creation, Man, Man's purpose, Christ, the Sacraments, and back to God. (Summary ...

The book of Ezekiel follows the southern kingdom of Israel, Judah, into captivity by the Babylonians. Ezekiel cries judgement on the Israelites for their sins, but also sings of God's mercy and the ultimate salvation of His people.
