Peter Paladine of the Great Heart, ostensibly the work of a committee of five citizens-professor, psychiatrist, physican, clergyman, business executive-purportedly is an account of the adventures of a billionaire who becomes bored with the life of a rancher, plant breeder, anad financier; and immersing himself in literature about medieval times, becomes obsessed with the idea that Don Quixote was a real-life character and he is his re-embodiment. Outfitting himself in armor, he takes off in one of his antique cars, a Model T Ford, and meets an unscrupulous opportunist who sees dollar signs in his psychosis, which with the encouragement of this artful deceiver and other self-serving sycophants, progresses to the point that he believes he also is King Arthur and Achilles. Thus we may view him as tragicomic insofar as the well-meaning but futile escapades of a man of noble heart and aberrant mind may be seen EB; 9.0 X 6.3 X 2.0 inches; 803 pages.
