Fausto
Par Baron Alexander Deschauer, Omar. 2017
IMAGINE UNA EXISTENCIA SIN PARAÍSO NI INFIERNO. Sin dioses ni demonios. Sólo nuestros pensamientos y albedrío. En esta existencia toda…
la vida está interconectada y es interactiva dentro de una conciencia superior. En contraste con Marlowe y Goethe, Deschauer presenta una cosmología y existencia que es tanto individual y total, carne y alma. El albedrío se enfrenta con el destino, lo mortal con lo inmortal. Se apunta a justificar los caminos de dios para la humanidad en una existencia carente de dios. Aún las inevitables construcciones de dios, anti-dios y mito son abrazadas por la humanidad en su búsqueda de sentido dentro de nuestra realidad. ¿ES EL AMOR EL SIGNIFICADO DE LA VIDA, EL ALBEDRÍO O LA INMORTALIDAD?The Frog Prince, Continued

After inheriting his title from his brother, the margrave has two weeks to find a noble bride. What will happen…
when he learns he has fallen for a lovely servant girl in disguise? The Margrave of Thornbeck has to find a bride, fast. He invites ten noble born ladies who meet the king's approval to be his guests at Thornbeck Castle for two weeks, a time to test these ladies and reveal their true character. Avelina has only two instructions: keep her true identity a secret and make sure the margrave doesn't select her as his bride. Since the latter seems unlikely, she concentrates on not getting caught. No one must know she is merely a maidservant, sent by the Earl of Plimmwald to stand in for his daughter, Dorothea. Despite Avelina's best attempts at diverting attention from herself, the margrave has taken notice. And try as she might, she can't deny her own growing feelings. But something else is afoot in the castle. Something sinister that could have far worse--far deadlier--consequencesSir Gadabout and the Camelot Calamity
