These tales speak of hope, love sometimes turned sour and the astounding powers of the human psyche.
Common wisdom says the price of love is pain. Ida, an artist’s model and a joyful wench who is swept off her feet by sexy Sergei, couldn’t agree more. Fortunately, she is resourceful, has a way with animals and will not be the one to bear the brunt of the pain. (The Price of Love)
You will not, however, be confined to the here-and-now but carried back in time (The Embroiderer’s Tale) or sent spinning into the distant future (The Darkness, Beware the Sandman).

When a young man from the Sahel region in Tunisia, full of hope and ambition, decides to follow his ancestors’ tradition by joining the army, he thinks that he will serve his country while following in the footsteps of his highly respected grandfather, who fought in the Crimean War alongside the British and the French against the Russians.
Because his country was colonised by France, he found himself caught up in wars that were not his own—wars that neither he nor his country had chosen or desired.
Yet like so many others from colonised nations, he was compelled to fight and to risk his life for causes that were foreign to him and battles that often contradicted his own people’s aspirations for freedom and dignity.
While his grandfather fought voluntarily and as an equal to the French, he fought out of obligation and as a second-class citizen of the French colonial empire. He was used as cannon fodder without the full recognition he deserved.
This young man is the father of the author who sheds light on the role of the colonial soldiers – THE TIRAILLEURS – and especially the famous 4th Tunisian Rifle Regiment (4eme R.T.T.), known for its bravery and its numerous military successes, which earned it a distinguished reputation on many battlefields. Composed largely of soldiers from Tunisia, the 4th Tunisian Rifle Regiment became a symbol.
The story is captivating and offers deep insight into the most critical periods of the 20th century.

Are you curious to discover who your distant relatives might have been? You may never know; they could have been rich and famous. Did they build a castle with a towering keep? Perhaps they owned a manor, too. Yet you might never feel the pride they held unless you reach out and grasp the past that is waiting for you to uncover.
This is the story of a family who knew nothing of their name, their rich and famous history, or how they once provided a king who lived in a castle and led a clan. There is a town that bears their name, with its own church, a recognised saint, a cemetery, a school, and acres of land: mountains and grassy plains where cattle still roam. All of this awaits you, a legacy to call your own. Imagine what that might feel like. This is the truth that has been preserved, now written in this book.

Literary and Spiritual Practices
African writers, including novelists and those who have specialised in the social sciences, are not sufficiently known in Europe, Asia and the United States. This book seeks to remedy this lack. It explores meaning and the human good as constitutive of human communities as advocated in the writings of African authors and other authors who have specialised in African history and the exploitation of Africans for the past several centuries. It also invokes Bernard Lonergan’s books, Insight and Method in Theology, to supply the background interdisciplinary method in forming the authors’ approach.

Amazing Monty is the main character of this story. He sets out on a determined and exciting mission to improve life for himself and his family, much like we do as human beings. Although he is only a snail, his role in nature is just as important as that of a pride of lions, even if he may seem less striking at first glance. Every creature has its place in maintaining a healthy environment.
Unfortunately, many plants and animals have disappeared over time, and climate change has had a serious impact on the world we live in. This story reflects those changes and reminds us of the value of every living thing.
I hope you enjoy reading this short story.
