Despondency: The Story of a Defeated Man


Introducing a new novel,

Despondency: The Story of a Defeated Man

by Paul A. Wunderlich, edited by Zach Hunt.

This is the story of a man who has been in an eternal struggle, using eternal lightly, since he is only 59 years old. In spite of his age, he is very unhappy, since happiness is merely a concept he has never felt or understood.



This story takes place in the lovely colonial city of Antigua, Guatemala. It has many fiction elements, like Mayans and vivid dreams, and also contains philosophical passages, some like Herman Hesse´s creations (i.e. Siddhartha). If you like action and adventure with a good-feel and a deep meaning, then this is an eBook you may find enjoyable.



The book description is the following:


Trister Trännermann, a fifty-nine year old man, travels the world in search of happiness. He finds nothing but regret as the unforgiving shadow of his past relentlessly haunted him. He ends up in Antigua, Guatemala, where he finally decides to settle down for good in an attempt to evade his demise.

As he seeks to dismantle his misery, he dreams about a Mayan warrior who stabs him to death, and he sees a woman whom he's barely seen before. Upon waking, Trister seeks her counsel in order to understand why she, of all people, appeared in his dream. He wrestles with self-doubt as she taps into the ruins of his shattered soul where she comprehends that he has been mangled by more than merely self-rejection. He fears he will never find happiness and will die as a nomad, ever wandering the world in search of something he can hardly define.
