The Cynics Vade Mecum Amazon Digital Services LLC - KDP Print US

THE CYNICS VADE MECUM is about the human predicament. It will appeal to readers who wonder if wealth and power could improve their lives. And to those who think men and women are condemned to quarrel. It will confirm the suspicion that public opinion is fickle, democracy is flawed and politicians are corrupt. And how nothing can be known for certain, time is an illusion, and that God is a figment of man's imagination.

Some readers may feel uncomfortable with these opinions, but cynics will immediately recognise them as truthful and amusing.
