SINOPSIS
In The Complete Men School, Herlander Elias tells us the story of two journalists (Rafael Sterling and Roberta Wagner) who do together the best news report of their lives by disclosing a subculture of benefactors known as “The Complete Men School”.
The plot progressively leads the reader into philosophical dialogues between a Master and his Apprentices who attend one of the secret ‘Schools’. Rafael, the young protagonist, is longing for the elaboration of a motivational research and that is the moment in which he comes across with a ‘one in a lifetime adventure’ reaching for unknown areas. He discovers a fascinating legion of aesthetes for whom humanity is deprived of privileges only reserved for a few elites, turning them into puppets in the hands of rulers, manipulative media and big companies. The 'dialogue' presents itself the chosen weapon of ‘freedom ’ to change the world.
Over more than ten chapters, the reader also steps into this ‘School’ getting to know who the “Complete Men” are, how they act and what is their agenda. In this fiction work, the reader will attempt to decipher riddles and solve problems the same way the Apprentices who aspire to become the ‘Complete’ ones do: how they can learn to grow up in life as human beings and to choose the way of fullness.
Crossing-over philosophy and detective story, this novel is filled with unanswered questions that guides the reader to meet the line of thought developed by the ‘Complete’ ones. Their elegant looks, their skepticism, their post-romantic boldness, yet always trying to act in a low profile way is the outline of the 'Complete' ones behavior. This wise attitude allowed them to change for good the communities that suffered their intervention. But if you want to know more about what a 'Complete Man' is, your best shot is reading this book.
NEWSPAPER CUT
October 15, 2000
Rafael Sterling is that kind of reporter bored with his job. He knows he can see beyond what the mainstream press allows him to see. He has the habit of walking on the streets always with his headphones on. He has no patience whatsoever towards unnecessary chats and so he optimizes his time. While he is walking, he checks all the things he has to do so far. He is a young man who pays attention to everything that the media presents to him outdoors as for instance on kiosk magazines’ covers outdoor billboards and websites because he know how to cross information. He feels seduced by fashion, and generally by the media. However, the truth is that he has been enduring a hard time to find his place in a society in which nonsense is more notorious than good sense. Once inside his car he kept changing the radio station often until he could find some vibration that would chain him to the world, yet that was hard since nothing seemed to please him. He would never be the kind of person defeated by the world’s proposals. He is the one that always finds better to come up with any proposal whatsoever.
At 10:22 a.m., he arrives at the University to speak with a professor. The post-graduate course he is attending to seems to become boring. Moreover, while he stands waiting by the door of his favorite teacher a newspaper cut comes towards him flying gently to his feet, a ‘divine gift’ cloaked as trash. Rafael grabs the newspaper cut, and as he reads what is written on its back, he realizes that there is another attached news article. This is a new about a group of conspirators. Most of the text is still readable in this piece of newspaper page. It looked like one of those pages that vagabondsuse to cover themselves during the night on dark streets and alleys. The most awkward thing is that the piece of paper flew into Rafael’s direction. Maybe it came stuck to his shoe or to someone’s shoe from the University. Surprised, Rafael started to read it, and without thinking about any motive driving him there (namely speaking to his thesis mentor about a job), he remained there trying to realize who would be the subjects involved in the issue on the news. The news piece did not fit all at once in the cut out he handled, however it was useful enough for him to have a glimpse on the main issue.
Without second thoughts, Rafael headed home and managed to surf the web and search for ‘The Ample Men’, the very subjects mentioned by the journalist that signed the article. It was not too obvious if the case was part of the past, like a ‘cold case’, or if in other turn this alleged group of conspirators was still in the active. The first impression he had, as he stared at the piece of news cut, was to connect the group of conspirators to something heinous as urban terrorism. But, after a while, after reading more thoroughly what the journalist wrote in the article he realized it was all about a city cult, a sort of ‘School’, though it was not much explicit what would be the outcome of their actions.
Rafael fell asleep; his high-fidelity system issued some static interference sounds, but in no way he would wake up more easily. The light of the screen, of
