Summary

The Falcon's Revenge is a story that, through the lens of characters from different walks of life, explores key questions about human life and experience. Of particular interest to our time is that of immigration. Many of the novel's characters are immigrants who find themselves trying to build a new life in America. Their trials and tribulations serve as a warning and as a promise to us embarking on new ventures in life. Readers are also introduced firsthand to the difficulty and reality of the unstoppable passage of time and how one is to bear it with dignity and grace. Lastly, man's relationship to nature and thus nature's God is explored so we can better find ways to harmonize with the Creator and his creation. Few novels of this generation raise such questions in such an engaging and an entertaining way as this one truly does.

Author Biography

Idelfonso Morales was born in January 1932 near Havana, Cuba. He attended Havana Business Academy and soon became a successful professor of English. On the eve of the Cuban Communist Revolution in 1959, he left his home country with his wife and came to the United States of America. His magnum opus, Extraordinary Naked, was written over the course of five years following his retirement and published in the winter of 2021. A lifelong reader and student of political philosophy, Idelfonso was inspired by the social realist works of Maxim Gorky as well as his recurrent conflicts with the Soviet regime. Ideas from the psychological analysis of Sigmund Freud and literary stylings of Emily Brontë , as well as the works of other authors, have helped inform his own writing style. His second novel, The Falcon's Revenge, debuted in the summer of 2023. He lives today in Kearny, NJ with his wife, Gladys, and has three children and six grandchildren.
