Inhaltsangabe

A human family, Helena and Gábor Fabien give birth to a healthy baby-boy in 1999 and name him Leo. From the age of one, he undergoes a transformation in physical form that nearly ends the love between Helena and Gábor that seems indestructible to outsiders and by the age of six, the time the law rules that children have to go to school, the changes are almost complete. Apparently mute and with limited intelligence, the parents give up the idea to have any more children as the boy Leo has turned into a large feline resembling a Lion. Destitute and emotionally at the end of their endurance they contemplate to end their lives together with the child as they see no future for any of them, or abandon Leo out of fear and rejection, society’s ridicule and cruelty toward ‘Miss-shaped’ beings other than human. They involve a close friend, Ivan Cherenkov to carry out the plot and he discovers that Leo has the intelligence and maturity of a 20-25 year old human. The elated parents decide to change their plan to have an accident at sea; the pet/child has to ‘die’ legally and in order to gain time to educate him on an island in the South Pacific with occasional visits. On a cruise into the South Pacific the child will become a ‘Lost at Sea’ fatality. The plot almost turns real when a crew, Jonathan Lundy, discovers Leo’s true identity and during the ensuing confrontation, Leo and the crew go overboard. Fortunately, both are rescued by dolphins and deposited on the populated island Niau where the parents find Leo. They take him to safety to another Island, Mehetia, where they discover their son’s ability of telepathy and mind-projection and from him they hear the crew also survived. Gábor and his friend Ivan return to Niau where they found Leo and find the crew in the care of a doctor, Leilani Kealoha, and her 19-year-old mystic daughter Vai. Ivan and Leilani fall in love and that opens the secret about Leo’s existence to the outside world. During the transportation of Lundy to Papeete’s hospital Gábor and Vai fall in love with each other too, and with the approval of his wife, she becomes his and her second partner. A spiritual transformation happens through Vai and her love and they discover freedom from conventional rules. They see how conformity and cultural expectations limit the enjoyment of life, how it creates imprisonment to moral and religious concepts through society’s rulings. Gábor discovers his love for his son, and a much deeper love and understanding for Helena, and both have a profound insight that intelligence is not limited to appearance and can take any form. Helena finds liberation from a suppressive role model image society places on individuals and Gábor learns about unconditional love through his wife’s acceptance of an additional consort for him and Vai finds her calling to her purpose in this life, but that's just the beginning.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

ABOUT THE AUTHOR André thought he was born on planet Earth, but his parents argued that and revealed to him the truth about his being at the age of four. According to them, his origins are not from this planet, not even from this galaxy, they said, but another, far, far away and strange universe. A stork dropped him by accident onto Earth. That may be the truth. Two and a half years later a sister was found under a rosebush. That may be true as well. Evidently, his parents didn't hear about the normal procreation procedures and left it to probable and rare incidences to have children delivered to them by intergalactic avian beings or have them stuffed in the middle of winter under some thorny bushes by some Easter Bunny with a lousy sense of seasonal timing. Without a fixed address, André travels single-handed around in the South Pacific on a sailing vessel. He makes his living wherever he goes and on lonely journeys comes up with ideas to write about. His first attempt at writing is published with Trafford Publishing and available on Amazon under the title “Oceanborne Madness”, a collection of twenty-one shortstories. Presently shipwrecked with time on his hands and nothing much else to do, he comes up with critical and controversial views and ideas about such slippery, savory topics as sexuality, religion, education, and society's accepted, but unexamined moral concepts and cultural fallacies, and wraps them into a sci-fi story that is humorous, arousing and entertaining to read. Assisted by pitfalls, setbacks on a personal level and in a perpetual shortage of funds, he gets his views and ideas through observation of people and situations and these stories reflect some of the conclusions he's made. He claims that everything he knows he had learned from his cats and the ocean, and it is remarkable he survived the lessons. These stories are not necessarily the view of the majority of people and André could have learned the easy way when to keep his mouth shut but had little success with that. However, he found a way to say what he felt needed to be said by writing it as a fictional story in a series of ten volumes.
