They Call Him Cicero
by
R. Parsifal Finch
(366 pages)
They Call Him Cicero is not just a good read. It is a book about Power, Politics,Love, Philosophy, The State, The Mind, Revolution, Fear, and Poesy. If interest and joy do not tempt readers to open this book, then it is best left closed. It is a book that scrapes its way to the light of day against all literary fashion which the author was determined not to imitate. It is a book for all men and women who think they are made for better things.
Why did Gustav become a criminal who swore he was fit to govern or conquer the world when he had the sould of a poet gone astray? Why did Oscar Palmer have anything to do with him? And why was there a search for 'truth' when it was thought no longer to exist? Is the prophet of despair forever there, foreshadowed by feminine beauty? Who was Kate? Was Hutch, Clay and Hannibal only figments of imagination? Well, They Call Him Cicero is more than just a good read!
About the Author
R. P. Finch has lived in Scotland throughout most of his life, though he was married and divorced in America.
"If upbringing and family life have anything to do with one’s destiny," he says, "my own must have worked its way through against all odds. I was alien from the beginning! My Father thought he was a great man who had fallen due to his marriage with my mother and other untoward circumstances. He died, aged ninety after remarrying in his seventies. My mother was ubiquitous. When I was young I thought my mother was regal: a woman apart who gave some meaning to the here and now, and someone who gave the house a certain colourful aura. No home of any of my friends ever came close. But when my brother married when I was fourteen, the outside world seemed to creep into and dissolve the aura. Ordinary, bleak, work-a-day reality broke the comparison, and I saw to my dismay, how ordinary my family suddenly appeared. As time went on all standards were lowered. That shocked me into acknowledging my difference. I think it must have been the strength of my mother's character that had fortified our lives previously. I was determined to raise the standard again, but... in a way that would surprise everyone."
Mr. Finch lives alone in Scotland now after the death of all but one of his immediate family (brother, sister and both parents) and is working on his Autobiography and a number of new books The Truth but not a True Story - A Letter to Everyone - The Development of God (an answer to the John Blanchard-Richard Dawkins debate) One sister, Winifred Francis, lives and works in California USA. He has two lovely daughters Emilea and Mira Finch, aged 9 and 14 who he sees at weekends, having separated from their mother.
"The worlds of thought and developed understanding, of life, philosophy and artistic political endeavour, is scorned and made ridiculous by an ignoble authority and its ignoble populace. "
"Money and politics have overcome love and life. Clever trickery has taken the place of thought. In short, institutional barbarism has replaced individualism." "The people have always been too stupid to know how stupid they are, which has always left the field wide open for imposters and political adventurers; Republican, Monarchical or Democratic." That is why Karl Marx thought that social development would not came about by mere desire for it, but by economic necessity. He was mistaken, but is still a thinker who gave vent to gigantic possibilities for social change. Then came Nietzsche who gave the old order of caste and class a new lease of life (though that was not his whole intention). The opposite from war is not peace, but creativity."
