David Contosta: Happenstance, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

With the world inhibited by progressive thinkers dabbling in revolutionary ideas, amidst ¿political upheavals at one hand and technological advancements on the other, it is mindsets ¿that prove to be the stumbling blocks at every step, all the way.¿ New ideas that have the gravitas to usher change and progress are thwarted; women ¿are still second-class citizens, at the mercy of patriarchal hegemony; individual choices, not ¿conforming to set societal value systems, are frowned upon.¿ Amidst such a scenario, lone pioneers toil on, hoping that the fire that has just begun to ¿ignite in small clusters will spread one day, eventually effectuating a social as well as ¿intellectual revolution.¿ With this hope, Ellen and Jane fight their battles in their respective ways. Often, the ¿journey is a lonely one, both psychologically and practically. But they never let go, as they ¿belong to that special breed-the avant-guard.¿
