" SINGING of BIRDS " is OUT OF TIME!
A professional writer sits down to his work with the dream of worldwide recognition. Someday. But now and then, a truly ingenious book flows from the pen of someone who makes no claim to be a writer at all. Yet such is the mastery of their subject and originality of thought that the result is a minor masterpiece. The 'The Singing of Birds' is such a book.
Oleg Kryshtal is a world-famous neurophysiologist, one of the few who has gained the reputation as one of the all-time greats in his own lifetime. His collection of novel-essays "Singing of Birds" illustrates the imperfections, shortcomings, twists, and turns of the human mind described with a combination of postmodern irony, anecdotes, humour, sadness, and his view of the human individual's thirst for life, the real meaning of which has yet to be found. Life is a way of finding oneself and it is often an uncertain and sometimes painful process. A groping through darkness. Yet a very few have been able to tap into the power of the unconscious mind – which we all have - and fly to unimaginable heights. A Mozart. An Einstein. The people we refer to as 'a genius'. This ability the author refers to as 'talking in a Metalanguage' It is an art given to very few.
'Singing of Birds' is a unique take on the phenomenon of genius. Prepare for a journey of revelations.
