Alethea's Dreams

With the full weight and gravity of the world pressing down upon her Alethea, the Greek Goddess of Truth, rests in an uneasy slumber.

Alethea's Dreams become embodied and enlivened through this collection of stories.

Begging to be uncovered, unearthed and awakened, her concern for humanity manifests in the curiously tragic, romantic and insightful lives of her dream's main characters.

As the winds of change blow, the dirt of modernity is whisked away. The nature of her truth resurfaces and becomes exposed in a myriad of times and places. From the slave pit of a rock quarry to the King's table, along distant mountain passes and the many endless highways of civilization, between the lines of blank pages, in the heart of modern suburbia, underneath the red berries of a threatened coffee farm that rests deep in the El Salvadorian jungle, stuck under the surgical knife in a flickering makeshift operating room amidst the chaotic throngs of war, across time and space into our most painful traumatic pasts, unto our unfolding futures and beyond, Alethea and her dreams take us underneath the surface of our illusions to the distant future that our hearts all long for.

About the Author

Author Daniel B. Martin is an American ex-pat author who currently resides in the Netherlands. He holds a BA in Philosophy from UH Manoa, and an MA in Philosophical Anthropology and Philosophy of Culture from Leiden University. His work intends to inspire deep reflection and evoke critical capacities through engaging in non-academic philosophy. Currently, he most enjoys playing within the unspoken boundaries of the niche genre of literary fiction: philosophical fiction. He blends together the best of existentialism in a platonic forum that lends itself to be skeptical, though self admittedly borderline cynical at times in the hopes that humans return to a recognition of our role as stewards and caretakers of each other & of the potential of life on this increasingly lonely planet. Major Philosophic influences: Heraclitus, Lao Tzu, Diogenes, Plato (& his teacher), Aristotle (mostly for his ethical fruit), Bontekoe, Chakrabarti, Frege, Huizinga, Chouraqui, Sartre, Camus & Nietzsche (in no particular order).Major Literary influences: run from London & Twain to Coetzee, Kundera, Calvino, Camus, Wilde & Bukowski.
