Book Description
This work is a story about a foreign student who strove to study biophysics under the guidance of renowned scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, and then pursued postdoctoral training in neuroscience at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. Later, he worked on brain research as a faculty at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It aims to make a belated yet respectful and heartfelt tribute to his revered and beloved mentors who have inspired and wisely guided the humble foreign student and his dear, kind friends who helped the alien stranger find a new home in this New World. It is a retrospective reflection of long-past events late in the narrator’s life. It was primarily based on his fragmentary shorthand diaries, scribbled on small notepads. The letters from his mentors in biophysics, molecular biology, and neuroscience were quoted in the text as they were vital to overcoming the long hesitation in writing this reflection.

Book Description
Last Dialogue of Socrates is a fictional narrative poem in the tercet stanzas. It sings of an imaginary dialogue between the character Xanthippe, the widow of Socrates, and the character Plato who visits Xanthippe soon after the execution of his revered mentor in Athens. The situation in this story is the same as that in Phaedo of the historic philosopher Plato (423-347 BCE): On his last day in the Athenian prison, what things Socrates discussed with his devoted friends and how he met his death. But the content of the present fiction is substantially different from Plato’s Phaedo: The main topic of Plato’s Phaedo is Socrates’ arguments for the immortality of the soul. In this fiction, the character Socrates is portrayed to discuss various topics: On the nature of death; On the meanings of mystic words such as, ‘soul’, ‘immortality’, ‘gods’, ‘muses’, etc.; On the nature of justice; On the ethical problems of the Olympian gods as depicted by Homer, Hesiod, and other great Greek poets in their epics and tragedies. Socrates introduces the profound and revolutionary philosophic ideas of Xenophanes (c. 570- c. 475 BCE) who criticized Homer and Hesiod for their portrayal of the Olympian gods as humanlike and immoral. After discussions on the impossibility for any human to know the true nature of deity, they examine the tragedy Prometheus Bound of Aeschylus (c. 525- c. 455 BCE) to discuss the topic of divine justice. In time, the jailor comes in and sends away everyone except Xanthippe. Socrates takes a nap before his execution. When he wakes up, he relates to Xanthippe his mysterious last dream: How he happened to meet Prometheus, the compassionate saviour of the mankind from the Zeus’ plan of their extermination; how he repented to Prometheus for the people’s vile bigotry in disrespect of their saviour; how he learned the deep mystery of the vast cosmic drama of the universe. At sunset, Socrates thanks Xanthippe for her devotion, prays to Athena for the protection of his beloved family and dedicates his spirit to Prometheus. Then he drinks the poison in composure and meets his death in peace. Thus, Xanthippe finishes her recollection of the final day of Socrates. Deeply moved, Plato vows to Xanthippe that he will devote his life to studying what Socrates taught, and to immortalize his ideals by writing them into books for all mankind to study.

Book Description
Mystery of Dao [道] is a narrative poem in the tercet stanza. It unfolds a private, personal tale of a conscientious wayfarer who tries to find possible relevance of the ancient Chinese books of wisdom on the mysterious and esoteric Dao [道] in the mundane journey of our workaday life. The tale has two parts: Song 1: Inner Voice of a Brook is a simple fable in which a man converses with a brook. It was inspired by Dao De Jing [道德經]—attributed to the legendary Old Sage: Lao Zi [老子] (6th-5th Century BCE). Song 2: Fables of a Dreaming Butterfly is a fable in which the ancient Chinese sage, Zhuang Zhou, transformed as a dreaming butterfly, converses with a rose. It was inspired by the Inner Chapters of Zhuangzi [莊子]—attributed to Zhuang Zhou [莊周] (c.369 – c.286 BCE).

Book Description
Awakening to One’s Conscience: Inner Journey into Human Nature {3} by Art Aeon is a fictional narrative poem in the tercet stanza. It unfolds imaginary dialogues between the character Homer-Outis, the bard of The Odyssey, and the character Odysseus, the protagonist of The Odyssey, in a numinous dream of the epic poet. Following Helen’s crucial revelation of the human causes of the Trojan War at her death, Odysseus and Penelope take on intrepid adventures to the ruins of Troy. On the way, they meet the characters Idomeneus in Crete, Diomedes at sea, Chryseis in Thebe, Tecmessa, and Telamon in Troy. Overcoming many formidable adversities, Odysseus and Penelope eventually fulfill Helen’s last wish to be united with Paris in Troy, even as ashes. But they are captured by the new Trojan king, Helenus. In magnanimous foresight, Helenus sets free his worst foe Odysseus to serve Aethon, a holy sage at the shrine in Mt. Ida. Odysseus pursues a new life as a humble hermit with sincere repentance of his past life. Penelope becomes a trusty friend to the queen Andromache in Helenus’s new kingdom. Eventually, Odysseus finds a lad, who is identified as the son of Helen by Paris, called Ganymede. He succeeds to Helenus’s kingdom. After Aethon’s death, Penelope succeeds him as the new spiritual leader in Mount Ida. Odysseus leads an international school in Mount Ida, dedicated to training young future leaders of peoples for enlightenment, peace, and prosperity of humanity. Odysseus relates to Homer-Outis what he and Penelope learned from wise Aethon about the wisdom and theology of ancient Egypt. They realize that personified deities are not real entities but mere wishful illusions, invented by humans in their minds. Eventually, Homer-Outis becomes enlightened; he confesses to Odysseus that he has been misled in proud vanity to follow guileful minstrels who abused hoax ‘muses’ as their poetic conceits to justify their travesties of absurd divine affairs. He vows to sing of the plain truth deep from his pure conscience without the poetic conceit of hoax ‘muses.’ Odysseus and Homer-Outis become mysteriously transfigured into one enlightened being. At this moment, the earnest and conscientious bard Homer-Outis wakes up from his spiritual dream, inspired afresh to write a new epic: Inner Journey into Human Nature.

Book Description
Du Fu [杜 甫] with his Last Pilgrim is a fictional narrative poem about the poetry and life of Dù Fǔ [杜 甫] (712-770), the great Chinese poet, revered as the ‘Poet-Saint.’ It unfolds imaginary dialogues between Du Fu and a fictional character, called ‘Bright Moon’: An earnest young admirer of Du Fu, who visits the sick, frail poet stranded on his worn boat-hut adrift the Yangtze River on his final day. Entreated by Bright Moon, who wishes to be his new pupil, Du Fu reminisces about his happy youth, how he studied poetry, and recites classic poems of Lǐ Bái [李 白] (701-762), Wáng Wéi [王 維] (701 -761), and Táo Yuān Míng [陶 淵 明] (365–427) for his new pupil to appreciate. Du Fu relates to the new pupil his indignations, frustrations, agonies, and utter despairs on vile corrupted rulers and his sincere and compassionate sympathy for the helpless, innocent common people by recounting his own experiences, which he had bravely revealed in his heart-rending and moving ballads. Suddenly, sick and frail Du Fu collapses and swoons. When he recovers, he relates his mysterious dream to his elated pupil: Li Bai came to see Du Fu on his boat; they celebrated their blissful reunion by exchanging poetic chants. The full moon was rising on the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, Li Bai jumped off the skiff, as if he tried to soar up to the moon. Then Du Fu awoke from the strange dream. When he finishes recalling his dream, a bright shooting star falls. Du Fu blesses Bright Moon to write pure earnest poems deep from his heart and soul; he gently passes away in peace.
