Sobre IBD

Nine Short Essays is a collection of reflective essays. The essays delve into various topics related to life, society, culture, and literature, offering insightful observations that reflect on the human experience and the American ethos. One of the essays, A Night in the Garden of the Tuileries, sets the scene for a nocturnal adventure in Paris during the time of the Second Empire. The protagonist, a weary traveler, inadvertently falls asleep in the Tuileries Garden and wakes to find himself locked in after dark. As he grapples with the anxiety of being trapped in a politically charged environment, he contemplates the beauty of the garden, historic sights, and the presence of illustrious historical figures. The essay blends humor, social commentary, and vivid imagery, exploring solitude, historical reflection, and the relationship between man and the world around him. The work as a whole provides a series of musings on human experiences across diverse settings, offering thoughtful reflections that transcend time and place.
