Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - They called it Sunday.Solan Vale was seventeen, in a drainage cut behind a reservoir fence in New Jersey, when he smoked something that had been sprayed with something else. For ninety seconds he understood that he was not walking east. The ground was going west underneath him, and he was the only thing in the frame that was not moving.It was not a hallucination. Nothing was there that was not there. It was a legitimate description of exactly the same facts, and no experiment can tell you which frame is the true one.Then it faded, and he was fine for nine years.At twenty-six, in a parking lot with a coffee going cold, it came back as something worse. I have never once perceived anything except my own construction of it. I might be the only one. And there is no way to check, because the only instrument available is the thing in question.What he decides to do about that is build an aircraft.SOLIPSIST is a psychological thriller about a man who cannot establish that anyone else exists and spends his life building something for them anyway. It is about the point where rigor becomes illness and nobody, including him, can locate the line. It is about a machine that reaches the same conclusion in eleven seconds and finds it unbearable, a translator who has to choose a Spanish verb that will settle a question he has spent a decade refusing to answer, and a friend who drives fourteen minutes with two coffees on a morning when there is nothing left to get.Based on a true story.A second iteration of the author's debut. Complete on its own.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Solipsist is a psychological thriller based on a true story that delves into the mind of Solan Vale, a man whose journey to uncover a buried trauma pushes the boundaries of reality, sanity, and self. Solan's life takes a dark turn when his brain begins forcing him to confront a long-forgotten trauma, dragging him into an intense introspection that mimics schizophrenia. As he starts paying more attention to the inner workings of his mind, Solan becomes convinced that he is the only conscious being in existence-a belief known as solipsism. This conviction takes hold after a fateful experience with marijuana, leading Solan to test his theory that he is the sole observer in a universe of his own creation. The results of his experiment are catastrophic, landing him in the hospital with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. But Solan's diagnosis is more than just a label; it's the key to unlocking a deep-seated sense of injustice that his brain and body have been trying to bring to the surface. Convinced that he is owed a staggering amount of money for the trauma he endured, Solan's subconscious drives him to seek legal retribution. With the help of his lawyer, his diagnosis lays the groundwork for a lawsuit that ultimately wins him $3.75 million-a victory that brings him a measure of closure and validates his solipsistic beliefs. As Solan becomes increasingly isolated in his conviction that he is the sole architect of his reality, The Solipsist raises profound questions about the nature of consciousness, justice, and the fine line between madness and truth. Is Solan truly alone in the universe, or is he simply a man lost in the labyrinth of his own mind? Peter Roman's debut novel offers a chilling exploration of the butterfly effect, the law of attraction, solipsism, and the psychological toll of trauma. For readers who enjoy thought-provoking fiction that blurs the line between reality and illusion, The Solipsist will leave you questioning everything you think you know.
