The Dreamseller

Who is this man, the Dreamseller? Every word he spoke was rich in meaning and his pithy sayings motivate many people, including his band of loyal followers. Yet, he is not interested in possessions and is happy to live off the casts-offs of others. He lives in freedom under bridges and underpasses, yet seems to be recognized by people in powerful positions. Who is he? Even to his mixed band of loyal followers, he is an enigma. The Dreamseller shares his philosophic thoughts freely, yet still encourages people to think for themselves, to free their minds and to not even take his own ideas at face value. To the down heartened and downtrodden, he offers hope. He points out that dreams are vital to life and that their purpose is to give strength in times of difficulty and misunderstanding. To the suicidal, he offers a comma, a pause to rest and reflect again, rather than the finality of a period. Was he sane or mentally ill? He did little to stop the crazy antics of some of his followers, especially that of Bartholomew and Barnabas; still, even at their most zany, he could calm them and distill out a peaceful and significant teaching that went to every heart in the crowd. Yet, despite his quiet ways, his enemies make life dangerous for him and his followers and he asks them to leave him. Will they abandon their leader whose words are as refreshing to them as a spring rain? Why do his enemies want to stop his message? THE DREAMSELLER: THE REVOLUTION is the second book in a new series by Augusto Cury, a Brazilian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, scientist and an international best- selling author of over twenty books. It is an unusual inspirational book and, while it can be read as a stand- alone, readers may benefit from having read The Dreamseller:The Calling first. With its easy to read format, it provides fresh and intriguing insights into the distorted values of modern culture. Fans of Cury's works are sure to be pleased with this latest book and will look forward to the next in the series.

SUMMARY

International bestseller AUGUSTO CURY returns with this enlightening fable about the mysterious dreamseller who continues to touch lives.

The Dreamseller, a philosopher dressed in rumpled clothes, travels the country gathering followers and delivering lessons to those in despair. In this uplifting journey, the Dreamseller demonstrates that societies are comprised of anonymous heroes who go unrecognized for their deeds: cancer patients who fight for their lives like warriors, parents who exhaust their bodies and minds to support and educate their children, and teachers who, despite low wages, enhance the minds of their students. The Dreamseller: The Revolution reveals that the history of mankind is complex: written with tears and joy, tranquillity and anxiety, sanity and madness. Moving, entertaining and inspiring, The Dreamseller: The Revolution leaves readers with a new perspective on life
