PARALLAXES

INTRODUCTION (0)
Introduction.
Some five years ago, I started a net enzine i.e. the magazine on Net, called Hurontaria. It was intended to have purely literary content, but later I had to add a little bit of philosophy, some technical issues and even several pictures. Due to slow download via modem, I kept the magazine slim and compact. It run in monthly issues, for almost four years and then faded away, being pushed behind by my other interests and duties.
One of those interests was to create electronic library of my books (KNIHY OFF.LINE, i.e. BOOKS OFF-LINE), mostly in Czech, but also in English language. Altogether, we have now 50 book in there, all free and downloadable via Net. This is the sixth book written in English, being the compendium of some essays from Hurontaria. Their subjects are various and their views mostly unorthodox, sometimes even provocative. Still, I wrote them the way I felt at that time and - I have to admit - I still mostly feel that way.
Some problems were already fixed, the others are still around us, and there are some, which may never be resolved. To coin the phrase, my essays were only meant to be "the food for thoughts", nothing more. Simply said, I wanted to provide parallax views in our world of crumbling paradigms . . .
