Belly of the Whale

About the Book

Belly of the Whale is a novel that breaths freshness and comes with a unique taste. Its bitterness is enough to make you delve deeply into yourself and to bring you face to face with your reality. The ideas it hosts encourage you to reconsider your actions in life. Thus, you end up either as one of the thousand deluded searchers for deceptive happiness or as someone who crystalizes life around a single solid and supreme idea that leads towards enlightenment.
