That Place of Knowledge : Encounters with Aristotle by a 15 year old boy with Autism and his service dog Paperback / softback
by Philip Alan Shalka
Paperback / softback
Description
Sabre, an autism assistance dog, stars as the perfect narrator in an imaginary journey to an enchanting city with Philip, his 15-year old partner.
It all begins when Sabre is assigned to an autistic, non-verbal, boy who seems to have an adventurous streak.
One sunny summer afternoon, the usual swim in the pool leads to an under water trap door opening a passage to a secret city.
There, time seems to have stood still since Ancient Greece.
The Classic surroundings are perfectly suited for wondrous, uplifting conversations. And that is just what Philip does. Sabre is right at his side as Philip encounters the philosopher Aristotle.
Their conversations centre on a shared desire to seek knowledge, learning and happiness.
Philip's questions incite deep revelations, not only about himself but also about life in general.
He gains insight and knowledge from Aristotle and it is clear that the philosopher also quite enjoys the company of his new friends.
The young writer, who shows a wisdom beyond his years, gives you a glimpse of an alternate reality of deep and intriguing thought where you will want to return again and again.
