Beyond Sight

The collection of proses Beyond Sight consists of twelve short and four longer literary stories of various genres. All of them have one common characteristic – they deal with people who are searchers, positive and quite oriented in life. This is what makes them different from (majority) of current literary and dramatic production which seems to be focused on characters that are problematic, confused, deviated, violent and otherwise negative, almost dehumanized.

All proses, even the short ones, are lively, multilayer and multipoint. One point is usually stressed at the end explicitly like in fables or fairy tales. This serves as a help for less experienced readers. On the other hand, this is exactly what irritates some readers.

All proses, in particular the multipart ones, contain also a lot of implicit and thus leave a lot on the readers‘ imagination and understanding. Not only stories and outer actions are important but also inner actions and motivations of characters that project into their acts and life. Therefore even experienced readers will be enriched during the reading and they will gain not only deep experiences but also knowledge and related benefits.

The peculiarities of situations give many stimuli for personal growth and advancement of the involved characters. Although the stories are arranged according to a key and together they form a higher unit the order of their reading is not very important.

The collection can also be used as a supplementary and illustrative material to the publications Personal Processing of Information and Meaning of Life.
