A Man To Remember

By Burt Diamond

Is it possible, do you think, for a series of events that occurred about 2700 BC to substantially repeat themselves in this era, specifically during the last decade? Friedrich Nietzsche thought so. Actually, his theory of eternal recurrence insists that individual experience will repeat itself over and over again at undefined times in the future. This unique story of greed and consequence written on clay tablets and discovered in northern Iraq in 2003 will confound some readers and delight others for within the story lie clues that relate events of this century to events that occurred almost 5,000 years ago. If you don't discover the clues, you will love this fast-moving story for what it is, heroism and romance in a once-dominant society. If you discover the clues, you'll have much to think about.Also in this edition: The Death of Peter MinuitThat Peter Minuit purchased the Island of Manhattan from local Indians for the Dutch West India Trading Company is generally well known. But what is not generally known is that he left (some say abandoned) his wife and baby daughter in the path of the savage Italian army and fled to America to work for the Company, was recalled, charged with malfeasance and replaced, imprisoned by the English, later hired by the same English for confidential information about Dutch plans and finally dying in a most extraordinary way while working for the Swedes. Written in iambic octameter, it's a fast moving and absorbing story of a man living with self-condemnation. You'll enjoy it.
