Description

In this thought-provoking new book, George Ewane Ngide explores Percy Byshe Shelley's poetry and visionary insight of a millennial future, an everlasting spring or a New Jerusalem where man will be "sceptreless-just man." Shelley's altruistic goal, Ngide asserts, is to reclaim the universe's original harmony, to forge a new future where humanity stands unshackled from evil, both social and political. How? Through universal love, nonviolence, and even vegetarianism. Shelley's poetic vision is contemporary, a clarion call to purge life of misery and evil. Ngide reveals Percy Bysshe Shelley as a celestial troubadour singing of a golden age yet to be. His words, like the snake that embodies time and change, slither through our collective consciousness, whispering of transformation. As we embark on this literary journey through Shelley's millennial dreams, Ngide's research demands that we heed his call and seek the "Golden Years" that will return after the lost paradise. In Shelley's verse, we find not mere escapism but a roadmap-a compass pointing toward a better tomorrow and the understanding that "Every discord is harmony not understood."
