Depressions' Child

By Perry L. Angle

Depressions Child tells the story of a man whose personality was altered by the Great Depression. Throughout his life the hardships that he endured turned him toward a bitter single purpose. He worked for financial gain in the mistaken belief that success would shield him from another horrid economic downturn. He was a person forced to fight bare knuckles in alleyways for prize money to buy bread. His own family became a means to an end. Only on his deathbed at age ninety-four did he realize that the depression sickness had caused him to hurt those he loved and he finally understood why his own son called him, The Emperor.

The story is told in classical tradition with the chapters reflecting the four imagined elements of the ancients--Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Each reinforces the overall mood changes of the individual and of the times. Here mythology, science, religion and psychology are interwoven to highlight various aspects of his incredible journey through dark periods in his life

It is a sad story that clearly proves that history can invade the psychology of the present.

Perry L. Angle

Perry L. Angle was a successful salesman, manager and stockbroker. He received his MBA from Auburn University. As an avid outdoorsman, he writes of his beloved South with humility and respect. The author of The Butterfly Transport and Prophet's Way is an accomplished champion of individual values. His unusual reflection of man in his existential response to stress is noteworthy. The author achieves a delicate balance in his use of science, philosophy and religion as he weaves portraits of man as he becomes despondent with each revelation of the difficulty of existence in a tumulteous world. Some readers will find truths explored that are applicable to their own situations
