Synopsis

If you are looking for a traditional retelling of the history of the great fornicating lovers Tristan and Iseult, why, just keep on looking. This book is not for you.But, if you want to see the hidden secrets of this ancient tale clarified and exposed with many ancient mysteries solved and many exotic and erotic tableaux revealed, then this book is for you.Among other things, you will finally learn how weak little Tristan, with his “wit craft,” killed the strong big Morholt. You will marvel at how clever Queen Iseult, on her wedding night, concealed from King Mark, her husband, the fact that she was not a virgin. And best of all, you will finally find the scientific explanation of how, during her trial for adultery, Iseult carried a white-hot incandescent iron 30 paces without burning her hands.Along the way, you may experience, as some readers have, an interesting, unusual, off-beat, high-quality entertainment that approaches the redemptive quality of real literature and art.The Search of Tristan and Iseult, a meditation on the meaning of life, love, and death, may leave you breathless. It is that good.

Bah. In previous years I would have given this book 3 stars, which was my default "not bad" rating. However, my commitment to more accurate ratings means this is really just a 2 star for me. I'm all for speaking from authority, but Gregory Diehl comes across as a self-proclaimed expert who is mostly......more

This book was provided to me by the author. I was given a choice of titles, and settled on this one because my sister and I created a website so my son, who is on the autism spectrum, can sell his art. Malcolm's Tiles was founded so he could travel to Europe to go to an amusement park he saw on YouT......more

Brand Identity Breakthrough is the debut book by author Gregory Diehl. I was fortunate enough to be sent a review copy for an unbiased opinion. The book is aimed at solopreneuers -- businesses that are built around the identity of an individual. Typically this is an expert in their field, somebody wh......more
