Of Man and Animals

Description:Sometimes we want to walk outside of ourselves. We want to stretch our imaginations by strolling in someone else's shoes for a few minutes. Of Man and Animals is a book for looking through other people's eyes. In these twenty fictional short stories, the reader is invited to laugh, cry, ponder, fear, love, and hate with a series of different characters.These stories emphasize the interconnected essence of our lives and how each particular moment carries an array of interesting experiences. They will bring the reader into the small, yet impacting, minor moments in other people's lives, and leave you with questions to ponder such as: What is the world around us really like? How do we act as we experience the world around us? How do we rationalize and connect our experiences and thoughts? And why do we act without even realizing our own motivations and desires on some occasions?This book is a book for pondering while at the same time enjoying a few moments apart from the daily lives we lead.About the Contributor(s):Thomas R.
