Eden on Earth

Więcej o książce

After setbacks one after the other at a young age, Dhaval Sonsoil accidentally stumbles upon a glimpse of enlightenment. In his childhood dreams, he sees visions of what he calls the void, the place of nothingness but, conversely, all-knowing. Challenged by a domineering father and pulled by emotions for a young peasant girl he is forbidden to see, Dhaval quickly learns that, enlightened or not, we can't always get what we want. Ever persevering, Dhaval embarks on a quest for illumination in the modern world. But in doing so, he embarks on something much more profound: a search for paradise on Earth with coming-of-age philosophy to celebrate life in every moment for everyone in this majestic world. Eden on Earth is an epic romance and magical realist adventure set in India. In the quest to find 'life' after a series of setbacks and tragedies, Dhaval Sonsoil embarks upon something much more than a 'living life' with coming of age philosophy, finally unearthing a 'celebrating life' to reunite with his soul mate Asha after many years. The novel has an overarching sense of beauty (especially concerning the natural world) and a human tragedy. Spiritual enlightenment is the main theme but nothing religious. The story is eclectic and includes many cultural vibes and spiritual and philosophical ideas.
