Author Description

Product Description David Argyll is a quiet, unassuming young man, although he has a doctorate degree in economics and an assistant professor in the university. He deeply believes in the noble art of teaching, in helping to mold young minds, in showing them the proper path to learning, and not in directing them to digest the latest fads that have nothing to do with reality. Unfortunately for him, only one colleague shares his beliefs about the teaching profession, an older man from a much nobler generation, a friend and confidant. But he is about to leave this world for the next, ravaged as he is by a terrible illness. Will David be able to reconcile his loss and the differing opinion he has with his seniors in the university?
