Man's Fate and God's Choice

An Agenda for Human Transformation

Beschreibung

The world today is facing a bewildering array of problems where human behavior is both brazen and bizarre. Those who are searching for a way out are daring to ask fundamental questions: What is man's rightful place? Are we a doomed species? Is God becoming weary of mankind? In Man's Fate and God's Choice, Bhimeswara Challa shares his comprehensive study of human behavior that suggests that the very paradigm of our thinking is inappropriate for the current challenges we face. In a thoughtful, innovative presentation of ideas, Challa posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest level, ultimately reawakening the intelligence of the human heart. He begins by examining the greatest challenge of this generation of human beings and continues by placing the multiple identities of man in perspective, reviewing our growing insensitivity to human suffering. Finally, he looks to the living world for inspiration, metaphors, and models for human transformation. Man's Fate and God's Choice incisively covers an array of issues and proposes an agenda for action as it challenges those who see misery and ask "Why?" to also see the promise in the rainbow and then ask "Why not?"

Autor

Bhimeswara Challa, better known as CB Rau, is an Indian novelist and scholarly non-fiction writer.

In his early twenties, influenced by Sarat sahityam, he shaped two surrealistic Telugu novels - క్షంతవ్యులు Kshantavyulu (Pardonable) and అప్రాశ్యులు Aprasyulu (Ostracized) - both bringing out, through their complex characters, the often colliding raw passions and naked urges innate to the human condition. However, his career, stretching over forty years and much globetrotting - first in the Indian Administrative Service and later in the United Nations - had cut short his potential novelistic pursuits. Nevertheless, all along he wrote numerous critical articles to international journals of repute on varied subjects of import.

After he had hung up his career boots, he picked up his literary pen to compose and craft the highly acclaimed scholarly non-fiction book - Man's Fate and God's Choice (An Agenda for Human Transformation) - which won the U.S. Review of Books Golden Seal of Excellence Award - followed by the magnum opus, The War Within - Between Good and Evil (Reconstructing Money, Morality and Mortality).

Bhimeswara (b14 July 1935) currently resides in Hyderabad, India, with his artist spouse, Nirmala.
