Project B
Been reading a novel by Agatha Christie called “Passenger to Frankfurt.” A real change from what I had been reading previously from her. The writing was quite queer if you have tried a hand scrolling through those pages.
The male protagonist of the novel (a diplomat by the name Sir Stafford Nye…) happens to meet a mysterious young female who is similar to him in facial settings and seeks help in transforming from she to he with his passport and identity to England! All this is based on the Revolution of “The Youth” and it also addresses to the friction that Adolf Hitler had actually escaped his own staging of the suicide in the bunker in 1945. This revolution is gunning for total global domination (a dangerous and diabolic thought… if one thinks of its aftermath). I had read another novel (around 8 months back…) that to suggests that Hitler never really perished just after the 1945 WW II debacle. It was a racy friction (who’s name I forgot…) which is a best read one if you are interested to know Hitler’s Afterlife in the Oblivion.
It deals with the Aryan Super Race Theory. But it doesn’t feel that racy as all the rest of her books! With no Hercules Pirot and much mysteries involved it was quite a damper of my hopes! The youth of the world is captivated by the words of a certain “Young Siegfried” who is believed to be Hitler’s son and like him an eminent orator! A steady supply of arms and ammunitions, drugs, sex and money keep these youngsters in a trance that through violence the world can be a better place.
In this whole novel Project B stands for Project Benevolence discovered by an Eminent Scientist by the name Professor Robert Shoreham, who is believed to destroyed the whole idea. This project is supposed to change the human’s violent nature into benevolent one permanently! But he seems to have destroyed his pet project because he believes that science can be used for good and evil purposes!
So is violence justified or is The Gandhian virtue to be upheld! One of the maxims (a truth…) that really caught me off guard is:
“Leadership, beside being a
great creative force, can
be diabolical….”
