    - A darkly comic tale of marriage, social climbing, and provincial absurdity 
    - A vibrant cast of schemers, dreamers, and fools 
    - A listener-friendly version of Dostoevsky’s underrated masterpiece 
    - A light yet insightful satire on the illusions of nobility and ambition 
    Short, clever, and surprisingly relevant, Uncle’s Dream is a must-listen for fans of classic literature with a satirical twist.

    Can you imagine how the world would be different today if there had been no Enlightenment era?  
    The Age of Enlightenment, which lasted throughout the 18th century, brought about fundamental changes in people’s thinking and transformed the entire fabric of society. 
    Even ordinary people began to question the entrenched beliefs and dogmas. They wanted education, justice, freedom, and progress. They struggled to eliminate despotic rulers and desired to be governed by democratically elected representatives. 
    But how did this fundamental shift in thinking occur in a relatively short period? And who were the great thinkers and philosophers of that era who dared to go against the established authority of the church and the power of the autocrats? Are you curious about how the Enlightenment influenced the French and American Revolutions?  
    If so, this audiobook holds the answers you seek. You will also learn about the following:The ideals of the Enlightenment, including reason, individual freedom, and democracy;How the average person viewed the Enlightenment;The philosophy and impact of great thinkers like Rousseau, Locke, Hume, and Voltaire;How the American and French Revolutions brought about changes to the traditional monarchy;The massive progress in education, science, and social justice;A brief look at the Scientific Revolution and the inventions that changed history;The explosive growth of trade and commerce that reduced poverty and created wealth;The remarkable women who stood up for women’s rights;And much, much more!

    A calling, an eruption, a phenomenon, an occurrence, a state of flow, an outlet for outburst, an involuntary muscle contortion, a summoning, an awakening, a release, an instinctual truth, a fleeting rarity, an escape from the commotion, a coming and going concussion... Call it what you will; Just don't call yourself a writer when you’re not writing. © 
    Fundamentally, this book isn't "about" anything but submission of a poetry and prose collection that had to be a world level thank you letter to American artist Charles Bukowski whom I had found later in life as a reminder that there was no doing this right. "This" refers to the notion of what it means to be a writer, as the pieces encompassing this collection stem from realization of a rooted "no effort" and invasive take over in the course of my life. 
    Simultaneously, I brutally address what it took to learn that this was ok. 
    Young adults of the art feel stigmatized into forcing creativity scholastically, whilst thinking their expression is restricted, not being trained to listen to their gut or feel strongly by standing on their own experiences. Even if it’s just by momentarily putting the mathematical thinking aside. I'd come across this the hard way from tutoring the subject of English first hand and sympathizing with people putting pressure on themselves in torment when they have "writer's block", so this could very well relate to aspiring writers in exercising patience. The purpose is to console by unpacking the nitty gritty, hard-hitting truths relating to existentialism, internal crises and sporadic nature that artists experience which the world doesn't often get insight into. 
    But ultimately, this is an "I love you" to the grace we can pay as humans with the capability to simply let go when we know it's time.
