granted by the prestigious institution "Literary Classic International Book Award and Review", South Dakota, USA.
The prestigious Literary Classics strives through well-crafted literature to foster creative thinking, improve cognitive skills, and help achieve a greater understanding of people and the world around us, among many other things.
Cristiane considers it a great honor to bear not only their seal of approval but a Gold Medal in the Inspirational/Motivational for YA category, especially because she didn’t enroll The Modern Man in this contest, having been appointed by a member of the Jury, totally unknown to her and with whom she’d have an immense pleasure and interest to meet, not only to deepen the discussion on the matter, but thank her/him personally, what she already does through these lines.
Praise for The Modern Man
There is no lengthy discussion nor is there an attempt to explain man's nature here, but the effect is perhaps more intriguing...one is forced to confront one’s self upon reading it.
~ Maria Beltran, Readers’ Favorite
A gem hidden for so long. Exceptional.
~ Helio Rezende
…the message you might harvest from this sensitive work will stay with you for a very long time.
~ Michael McManus, Readers’ Favorite
Buy it, keep it and never let it go.
~ Svetlana
"‘The Modern Man’ is very short…but you will need some time to think about it...the perfect length to get the thoughts across and to leave the reader thinking on his or her own." ~ Kim Anisi, Readers’ Favorite
This book will make you stop and think.
