– reflections on big and small

Throughout his life, George Manus has reflected on big and small, which has already resulted in 20 books. He claims that while things are happening, we only get to think in the present. It is only afterwards that we have time and opportunity to think, analogise and consider.

The importance the author attaches to the idea of reflection is in other words afterthoughts.

In this, his twentieth book, George Manus has picked out thoughts from “Reflections” I – II and III, as well as “Thoughts”. Thoughts were written, one every day, on the first 51 days of 2001, while the Reflections spread as far back as 1989.

Stories & Thoughts I

– Thoughts are duty-free
After the release of his first three books, REFLECTIONS I – II and III, the last one in late 2017, George Manus thought it might stop there. However, after publishing the series of books he calls WORDS FOR THE ROAD – short reflections and puns, he now comes with a new twist based on the same theme – STORIES & THOUGHTS I.

Thoughts

– and dashes
THOUGHTS provided the author with inspiration to write his book series REFLECTIONS I, II and III. At first glance a thought and a reflection fit hand in glove, but according to George Manus, his thoughts are written in a more targeted fashion and over a short period of time, whereas he in his books REFLECTIONS writes over a much longer period, sometimes lasting years.
