The Hedonist, Book 2

The Hedonist is a marvelous novelized autobiographic story. The author, great world traveler, witnessed important political-social happenings of the XX century, such as the Parisian student rebellion in 1968, the hippy movement in the USA, the Cuban revolution, the coming to power of Salvador Allende in Chile and many more. His adventurous spirit led him to West Africa where he lived and worked for 20 years and from where he brings us an important treasure of experiences and original thoughts. The critical analysis of all his experiences with the catholic and other religions gives us a new outlook on our history, not only of the XX century but since its making. Told in an easy narrative style, J-P catches us in The Hedonist from the first to the last page and I would not be surprised if many readers came out of this work with a strong Hedonist tendency. * Jean Pierre Louis Marie Goffings was born on the 23th of June in 1943 in Diets-Heur, province of Limburg of the then called United Kingdom of Belgium.
