Book Overview

The Terrified Society is a non-fiction book written by Hildegarde Tolman Teilhet that explores the concept of fear in society. The author argues that fear is a pervasive force that affects individuals and communities in a variety of ways. She examines the sources of fear, including crime, terrorism, and natural disasters, and how they are amplified by the media and political rhetoric. She also explores the psychological and social effects of fear, such as anxiety, paranoia, and social isolation. The book offers insights into how individuals and societies can overcome fear and build resilience, and includes practical tips for managing fear in everyday life. The Terrified Society is a thought-provoking read that sheds light on a universal human experience and offers a valuable perspective on contemporary social issues.A young American war widow named Marion Brown, a Central American totalitarian agitator named Carlos Marinos and an American named Tom Jarrot are the three main characters. Tom Jarrot is wanted on serious charges in Atlanta. The place is Antigua, Guatemala, the time, 1947. At this precise moment in the story Marion Brown has discovered that she herself is a member of the Terrified Society. The novel begins in the United States where Mr. Jarrot gets into trouble with society in general and in particular with Marion Brown. It ends in those violent and beautiful Central American countries, Guatemala and San Salvador.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
