The Theatrical Illusion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I decided to read this book because i had seen a play of "The Theatrical Illusion" being presented and i had adored it. So, i decided to read the book to be able to explore every verse and every line and now i like the story even more. Life is an illusion indeed, an illusion of love, hate, betrayal... Infidelity and hate is just a part of the picture of love and faith, these are all knit up in our lives. Read this book to see the illusion of reality of our lives...
