The novel waltz of life is a work of experimental fiction. I have dabbled into philosophical aesthetics. It is an amalgamation of inter-textuality, memoirs, autobiography and a metaphoric explication of life. The novel should be interpreted as a work of art. I have also indulged in a form of non-phonetic writing or art writing. The novel bears semblances with the Cubism of Picasso, the Surrealism of the Dadaists and the writjngs in streams of consciousness. [more]

The Author has tried to paint words, with his imaginations and abstract illusions. Most of the poems have embraced the art of postmodern literature. It is an anthology of poems written in various mood swings, oscillating in a pendulum of colors. The Author has penned this book in an attempt of giving life to the tropes of unworldly imaginations. Play slow music, shut your brain's eye, orchestrate your soul and mind. You are there... This book is an amalgamation of various things like literature, psychology, aesthetics and surrealism.

Verne was born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism.[2] [more]

Jules Gabriel Verne (French: [ʒyl vɛʁn]; 8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction.

His early works, such as Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, were influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing, Ukrainian culture and folklore.[3][4] His later writing satirised political corruption in the Russian Empire (The Government Inspector, Dead Souls), leading to his eventual exile. The novel Taras Bulba (1835) and the play Marriage (1842), along with the short stories "Diary of a Madman", "The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich", "The Portrait" and "The Carriage", round out the tally of his best-known works.
