The Terrified Society

By Hildegarde Tolman Teilhet

Book Overview

The Terrified Society by Hildegarde Tolman Teilhet is a thought-provoking book that explores the ways in which fear has become a pervasive force in modern society. Drawing on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples, the author argues that fear has become a dominant factor in politics, media, and everyday life, shaping our perceptions of the world and influencing our behavior in profound ways.The book begins by tracing the origins of fear in human history, exploring how early humans used fear as a survival mechanism and how it evolved over time. From there, the author examines the ways in which fear has been used throughout history as a tool of control and manipulation, from ancient empires to modern-day dictatorships.Moving on to the present day, The Terrified Society explores the ways in which fear is perpetuated and amplified by the media, politics, and social media. The author argues that fear has become a commodity, with politicians and media outlets using it to gain power and influence, and individuals using it to gain attention and validation.Throughout the book, Hildegarde Tolman Teilhet offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the ways in which fear shapes our society, and offers suggestions for how we can break free from its grip. With its engaging prose and thought-provoking ideas, The Terrified Society is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex role of fear in modern society.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.
