The Riddle of the Sphinx

by Alexandre Montagu

Psychology fictionSelf-actualization (Psychology)Fiction

From a daring escape over revolutionary Iran's Zagros Mountains, to the glittering night clubs of Paris; from the Caspian Sea to Wimbledon, from the halls of Princeton University to an exiled princess's palatial New York apartment, The Riddle of the Sphinx takes us on a dramatic journey in an epic and psychological novel of self-discovery, sexual obsession, exile and destiny. Like Proustian characters trapped in a mental hologram, the novel explores the workings of the human mind and comes face to face with the shrouded questions of identity, false selves and transcendental and existential reality.
