“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity”

The story revolves around a Roman Senator, Marcus Atticus, who wants peace in his life by obtaining power. His quest for power and his daily sufferings through lust, takes tragic twists in his life when he goes to the extent of losing senses and his virgin wife.

The plot then turns upside down when he finally realizes his faults and goes in search of what he has lost in his quest for “peace”.

I try to help people understand that PEACE cannot be found in this life. The illusions of a non-existing peace and love can be seen in this fantasy plot set in the Ancient Roman times.

This story itself is a satirical display of my own life but with a fictitious plot and story. The readers therefore can relate themselves to the protagonist and reveal to themselves what they have gained or lost in their quest for the riches of this world.

Hope to give you all some food to your thoughts.
