{"product_id":"9781418453961","title":"San Juan: Glimpses In Time: (Travels through Shadow and Light)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom my home in San Juan, a lovely sector of central Tibas, situated just north of San Jose, Costa Rica, while the candle flickers I commence the writing of these varied glimpses. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWarning! What you are about to read are personal memoirs! They are much to do about “self.’ They amount to a large group of random thoughts, sporadic observations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI always feel I am somehow supposed to write my thoughts down – what a big ego I must have – because (I like to think that) if you put them all together, they form a loose-knit way of seeing the world. They are a part of my worldview. Everyone has one of these – what’s your view of the world look like? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI am going to be a world philosopher when I grow up, you see. That is what my intention is, since I have always been preoccupied with how to see things, how to process things. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow odd is life anyway. That’s why my interest in philosophy – to figure out the oddness of life. Normally, I think philosophy can be pretty dry and boring. But, for me, it’s terribly exciting. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e…In this book, what you are about to delve into will resemble the form of an ongoing story. It will consist of a sequence of six weeks of shadows and lights (i.e. days and nights). After that time, wherever I am at with it, I will stop, and simply and abruptly start to write another book about something else I know not what.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere though, I will (I suspect) be sharing with you a series of ideas, dreams, fears, logical thoughts, illogical thoughts, wonderings, wanderings and general psychobabble. I say that because I intend to impart thoughts and ideas about whatever might be in my ongoing existence in being. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis could be anything, I assure you…as of course it could be for anyone. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExactly what will appear in the pages that represent the next six weeks of my life, I do not have any idea – that, for me, is going to be much of the fun of writing it!      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183966994672,"sku":"9781418453961","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781418453961_p0.jpg?v=1763728292","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781418453961","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
