ÒThe soul divines her purpose, and the body-mind traces
his uncertain footsteps towards our obscure destiny.Ó
This is the story of a man
who made those famous words of Socrates a reality.
Novelist and traveller, painter and historian, Ralph (ÒHariÓ) Thorpe gave up a meteoric business career - during which he wrote Test Marketing for Profit - aged 25, to see the world and seek the meaning of Life. Back-packing from London to Japan, he spent a year in Italy, visiting every cultural site with inexhaustible energy. He climbed Mount Olympus in Greece. He was arrested by the Israeli Water Police for swimming across the Lake of Galilee. The Secret Police prevented him from joining a Persian nomadic tribe. Moslems stoned him with rocks in Morocco, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Jerusalem!
