The story is set in the seventeenth century, in the Duchy of Milan, then a Spanish possession in northern Italy; however, the plot is merely a pretext for the author to weave a timeless and universal tale that touches on every human feeling, passion, and behavior. In compelling fashion, love, hate, prejudice, vengeance, forgiveness, fear, courage, crime, punishment, redemption, treachery, loyalty, religion, superstition, love of country, devotion to duty, generosity, greed, art, science, politics, economics, and emigration come together in this book, making it, unquestionably, one of the giants of foreign literature. The book opens as two of Don Rodrigos toughs order the local parish priest, Father Abbondio, not to marry Lucia to Renzo--she a beautiful, honest and deeply religious country girl, he a sensible, upright and God-fearing craftsman. Don Rodrigo is an arrogant aristocrat able to impose his will on those around him thanks to an overall social structure that favors the powerful and preys on the downtrodden. He has forbidden the marriage because he has bet his cousin that he will seduce Lucia, and has set a deadline for his deed. The fearful priest obeys Don Rodrigos order, but a saintly monk, Brother Christopher, tries to dissuade him from lusting after the girl. Irritated by the friars plea, Don Rodrigo decides to kidnap Lucia, to be certain of possessing her before the expiration of the bet deadline. He fails because Lucia is not at home at the time of the attempted abduction. Trying to take advantage of a loophole in the law which allows two people to declare themselves man and wife (provided a priest is present), she and Renzo have gone to Father Abbondios residence, to force him to witness their exchange of vows. However, Father Abbondio, afraid of Don Rodrigos retribution, foils the two young peoples attempt. His screams cause his sexton to ring out the general alarm from the churchs bell tower. The fiancs, the would-be kidnappers, and the entire village are thrown in total disarray. Brother Christopher helps Lucia find safe haven in a convent, and makes arrangements for Renzo to find work in Milan, away from Don Rodrigos fury. Immediately after arriving in Milan, Renzo is, however, caught up in a bread riot sparked by a government-decreed price increase. He is framed and arrested as one of the riot ringleaders, but is able to escape to a neighboring country, where he is forced to disguise his identity. Since Don Rodrigos is not powerful enough to infiltrate Lucias place of asylum, he seeks the help of another man, "whose long arm often reached farther than his enemies eyes." Lucia is treacherously abducted and taken to this ferocious overlords castle, from where she is to be turned over to Don Rodrigo. However, the overlord has secretly been harboring serious concerns over his past crimes. Lucias plight and pleadings help precipitate his crisis of conscience. He goes to see Cardinal Federigo, who is on a pastoral visit in a nearby village, and, with the Cardinals encouragement, decides to change his way of life. Lucia is freed unharmed, but is still unable to return home because of the ever present threat from Don Rodrigo. So, she goes to live in Milan, under the protection of a powerful, well meaning, but rather eccentric couple. There, she has to wage a constant struggle with herself, because on the night of her abduction she had made a vow that she would remain a virgin if she could safely come out of that predicament. Though still deeply in love with Renzo, she is determined to keep her vow because of her strong religious faith. War, famine and pestilence further complicate the lives of the two young people but, at long last, Renzo is able to go looking for Lucia, and finds her in a hospital, recovering from the plague. Brother Christopher, who had gone to that same place to care for the diseased and the moribund, counsels Lucia on her vow, and releases her from it. Don Rodrigo dies from the plague, and the two fiancs are finally free to marry. They move to Renzos adopted country and from then on lead a comfortable and serene life, made all the more pleasant by their past suffering and their trust in God.

The Becker Technology Trilogy presents a thumbnail sketch of key events from the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe to the amazing air and space technologies of the 21st century. Mixed with equally startling cultural and political perspectives, events are presented in three companion volumes. Book 1, Eight Against The World: Warriors Of The Scientific Revolution, follows the close-knit lives of eight extraordinary men of science and technology Gutenberg, Leonardo, Copernicus, Nostradamus, Brahe, Galilei, Kepler and Newton to the doorstep of the Industrial Revolution. These giants of the past, willing to endure heartbraking hardships, dedicated their lives to building the foundation of today's technological and scientific achievements. Book 2, A Season Of Madness: Life and Death In The 1960s, begins the author's participation in the emergence of new technologies as an eyewitness to the final two-thirds of the 20th century. Incredible events come to life as the background of the cultural disorders of the Civil Rights Movement, Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race for the Moon, 1967 Detroit Riot, and the Kent State University Massacre. Book 3, The Race For Technology: Conquering The High Frontier is an explanation of major science and technology events from about 1970 to the start of the 21st century. Global miracles of invention such as the Hubble Space Telescope, the Assault On Mars, Thames River Flood Barrier and Netherlands Ijsselmeer Project, satellites searching for the Chernobyl Disaster, the Armada To Halley's Comet, and the changing nature of hurricanes on our doorstep, are highlighted in terms of everyday cultural technology. The Trilogy is being published in 2007 and 2008 three must-read, exciting books you need to have on your own bookshelf to be alive and well in the 21st century.

A man clinging to the fidelity of a promise he made in his youth meets an emotionally reclusive woman, who finds herself in conflict with his tenderness, and he with his promise. The winds of change are now organizing into the storm of life and his promise begins to ring, while she feels the bayou from her childhood reminding her that there are no opportunities for a woman like her. This storm could be their deliverance. SAMPLE "Gwendolyn, the spirit is a world replete with hope and the heart but a fragile vessel where it dwells," he paused in a futile attempt to control his pooling tears, "but when the spirit is crushed, it releases what's left of its world into that vessel, then the spirit withers and dies, and the heart is left alone clinging to the fidelity of its promise, while the rest of the world..."He stopped abruptly, released her quickly, as his diaphragm tightened, and returned to the wall as before. *** She thought, I have my answer and I'm so pleased with it. Please don't make me pay for my answer, don't kiss me. Take from me only what men want and let me run away, but just don't kiss me. I get so dizzy. He held her face in both of his hands and thought I'm so confused again and that feeling, the tidal forces that exist right now. The gravity pulsating inside the glow of a woman compels all men, but yours is so unforgiving, should I? I so hoped this rencounter would give me full resolution, but I'm still so unsure. I sometimes think that our morals were smelted in the blazes of hell, and once driven apart, its demons feast on our confusion. *** He pressed his hand against the window as he read her text. He dropped his hand down to his side clutching the phone, which felt like a bar of ice. He gazed up into a field of resplendent stars and thought, what makes a man so completely? Not his laurels, his honor, or his good deeds. He paused to collect his thoughts... but a woman's kiss, which also has the power to repair. As tears pooled he thought, my ache and I desperately need your handiwork. Don't deny us your kiss.

The book explores the wonders of philosophical thoughts and their delightful effect in such a way that it gives the impression of a buffet with several main courses, desserts, fruits, vegetables, and a pile of absurd things. It challenges one’s faith and pushes one to the brink of the abyss. One is given bits only that are outside any structural-frame-work. The way of thinking delving deep into common sense may demolish the structure of one’s thought. There is no guarantee that the end of one’s inquiry will leave one the same person which one was at the beginning. These pieces are inconclusive-conclusions of paradoxes, which the author crossed across. The writing may look little dicey to the reader but with the tool of doodle it digs the drolling existence to enhance the dancing fruition of the dice thrown on the cognitive-tabletop.
