Babbage (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the small midwestern city of Summit, George Babbage seems to have it all: a successful real-estate business, a devoted wife, three children, and a house with all the modern conveniences. Yet, dissatisfied and lonely, he's begun to question the conformity, consumerism, and competitiveness of his conservative, and ultimately cultureless middle-class community. His despairing sense that something, many things are missing from his life leads him into a flirtation with liberal politics and a fling with an attractive and seemingly "bohemian" widow. But he soon finds that his attempts at rebellion may cost more than he is willing to pay.

Autorenporträt

I'm a 61 year old widower of 6 years who is retired and lives in Des Plaines IL. I'm pretty much a stay at home person (especially during these Covid times). I live with my 2 loyal companions, my 12 year old silky terrier Scottie and my 11 year old American longhair black cat Edy. My passions are reading and cooking. I love writing and this is my second book with a third in the works. My first published book is called The Fermi Paradox which I wrote 15 years ago. I have a website (https://kensbookinfo.blogspot.com/) that deals primarily in literature, as well as news and info. I also buy and sell textbooks which I like to call textbook arbitrage.

I love books because they provide an escape. They allow me to go somewhere I would never be able to get without them. I read to know that I am not alone. Books provide me with a place to go when I have nowhere else to go.
When you read and see the world through another person's eyes, it is quite breathtaking and overwhelming. Everyone envisages things and perceives things differently and to glimpse another person's perspective, is fascinating (especially if it is a biography or a real true-life story)
