A butterfly flaps its wings, and on the other side of the world a hurricane is formed. If only Rohan Frith could be certain of the choices before him—anything that could help him understand more about the mysterious organization that has turned his world to chaos. Rohan is a disillusioned young print presser whose curiosity has drawn him into the world of the occult.

Through these connections to ancient conquered holy lands, he finds himself on an unimaginable adventure, thereby gaining unexpected insight into the world around him.

At once a memoir and a personal version of the author?s highly influential Language of Psychoanalysis, this work by one of the world?s leading proponents of psychoanalytic theory and practice offers an autobiographical perspective on the private ?vocabularies? that develop between analyst and patient. Because our ways of understanding the world are mediated by our use of language, J.-B. Pontalis suggests that a close look at our private lexicon can uncover a great deal about what we value. Beginning with one of his own linguistic preoccupations, the metaphor of the window, Pontalis considers language as a vehicle for both self-awareness and self-deception; he explores how we choose or eschew certain words to create our life-stories and demonstrates how these words conceal?and reveal?our most intimate preoccupations and desires.
Homer Ashley Fields has only one living relative, an aging grandfather, who for thirty-two years has lived in self-imposed silence rather than to answer questions about his mysterious past. At age twelve, Homer stopped asking; the scar on his arm a reminder never to ask again. That day, his grandfather sat down with a notebook and a pencil and began to write, over the years filling notebook after notebook and locking them in an old trunk. Homer suspects the answers to all his questions are on the pages, but he will not betray his grandfathers trust. When a strangers appearance terrifies his grandfather into a near heart attack, Homer feels certain the man is linked to his grandfathers past, and contemplates breaking into the trunk. By chance, he finds two handwritten pages behind the trunk that reveal the horrible truth that took the lives of thousands and drove his grandfather from his home at age eleven to fend for himself. Now he must find his ailing grandfathers siblings, if they are still alive before it is too late.
