The Errors of Mankind: Mistaking the True Conditions for our Well-Being

by Curt A. Canfield

Overview

The Errors of Mankind is an allegory about human nature, probing into the circumstances which gives rise to its evil side and offers the possibility of redemption.

The three main characters are: Will, a retired consultant and Vietnam veteran; Johann, a distant relative of Will's who is a German veteran of World War II; and Lena, an Auschwitz survivor. Will still struggles to find purpose in his life after the war in Vietnam when he meets Johann who still expresses a strong belief in the discredited regime he once fought for. The two begin an uneasy collaboration to deconstruct their disastrous past and overcome their cultural and familial legacies but are ultimately led to redemption by Lena.
