Gailana is the central island of the world; Aurganots, Reminos, Hindarassis, Pelanese, and Free People, different societies with different customs and values, live in it. Gailana is old, with a history rich in events and civilisations. The mother island has undergone important changes in recent decades, including a devastating war from which the Aurganots emerged victorious. Following this war, Aurganot has become a country of wealth, technology, and power, dominating all others. In this modern age, Aurganots value their new found joie de vivre; Pelanese love commerce and business; Reminos are still dedicated to honour and glory in war; Hindarassis continue to care most about their families; and the Free People cherish their freedom above anything else. Among the Free People, a young Levon has set a high and ambitious goal: to seek and find the ultimate meaning of all that humans do. Levon has been on his intellectual quest for years, and the coming days are significant. Paratos, the sage of Gailana, is in the land of the Free People, and Levon is readying to meet him. The young man knows that something life changing will come out from this meeting, only he does not imagine what. In this fictional first part of The Story in Three Parts, John H.T. Francis tells the story of Levon, a young and sincere soul looking for meaning in a changing world. This short novel will take you on a journey through Gailana, shows you its diversity, and brings you close to many of its human aspects. Events will develop fast on the island, and Levon is about to be in the midst of them.

From the Back Cover What if all the world around us unfolds in certain ways while we, human beings, constantly tell ourselves different stories about it? What if what we call human understanding is nothing else than stories we make up about some of the world's events, stories that are for the most part either flawed or incomplete? And if that is the case, to what extent do we do so and why do we even do it? What if we have always been living more in our stories than in the real world? These are some of the important questions John H.T. Francis addresses in his new trilogy The Story in Three Parts. Faithful to his multi-disciplinary approach, intricate treatment of the subject, and modular and open style, the author looks at the existential role of the Story to human beings. Each part of this Trilogy highlights the central role of the Story to human meaning and understanding in a different way: simply through a story (Part I); in a theoretic-philosophical way (Part II); and in a practical way (Part III).

However, this isn't a situation where you are left with a cliffhanger and need the other two to complete the story. Rather, the first book is a story in itself. In Part two there will be a theoretical, or more of a philosophical discussion. A practical approach will surface in part three. For those of you that like to see the human side of the story before getting into the "study" of a topic. This book is definitely the one you want to start with.So many folks these days only think of themselves. What they want and how they can get it. Levon wants to know the meaning of why we are here. We travel on his journey with him. I was provided a free copy of this book in order to read it and write an honest review.

A Futuristic Allegroy By Silver Wolf While I was reading Searching for Meaning in Gailana, I had Dream Messenger playing which is actually meditation music that is airy, fluid, and mystical. It served as fitting background music.The novel is described a trilogy because it happens in three parts rather like three acts. Don’t let the concept of a trilogy overwhelm because it is concise as opposed to being verbose. It tends to be more of a book for every man told by Levon who could be anyone, except, he has a very grand project. Levon wants to find the real meaning of life.There are several layers within the tale just as they are several different cultures. It is easy to draw parallels, although the author doesn’t necessarily tell the reader making this book more literary than genre fiction. Paratos, the wise man Levon idolizes, could easily have been modeled on the Dali Lama. It isn’t too hard to assign names to the country if a person is interested in doing so.Searching For Meaning in Gailana is Orwellian leaning toward satire in some places, then other times, it is a simple allegory that sometimes reads like a case study. In the end, it is an entertaining tale that could spark discussion and thought.

Good Reading By LAS Reviewer This author brings us a well thought out treatise on searching for meaning on Gailana, the central island of the world with several different societies living on it. I think it’s more than a coincidence that Gailana is very similar to Gaia, the Greek personification of Earth.The author takes a look at the role of Story through this small book in three different ways. The first section is about Levon, who is trying to discover the one meaning for everything that people do. In the second portion of the book, the author shares his feeling about Story in in a philosophical way – I have to admit, this was the hardest part of the book for me to grasp my mind around. And, in the final section, we go back to stories and their importance for people.This book, though short in pages, is long on concept. The idea that all of us are connected by Story and of our perceptions of the world is one to think on and ponder about. I believe it will take more than one reading to fully see everything the author is examining.originally posted at long and short reviews
