Ardath
'Ardath' Summary
Theos Alwyn, an atheist poet consumed by despair and doubt, seeks solace in a secluded Caucasus monastery. His quest for spiritual awakening leads him to the enigmatic field of Ardath, a place imbued with mystical power. Ardath becomes a gateway to an alternate reality, a dream state where Theos encounters a transcendent version of himself, existing beyond the constraints of time and space. This ethereal self, a manifestation of Theos's own soul, guides him through a series of profound experiences and challenges, confronting him with the limitations of his earthly beliefs and the allure of a higher spiritual plane. Theos grapples with the nature of death, the possibility of an afterlife, and the elusive nature of truth. As he delves deeper into Ardath, he confronts his own inner demons, navigates the complexities of love and desire, and ultimately confronts the profound question of the self's true nature and its potential for both liberation and destruction.Book Details
