Announcing 'The Mole': A Groundbreaking Epic Poem Exploring the Decline of Humanity

CHIKUSHINOSHI, FUKUOKA, JAPAN, September 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "Announcing “The Mole”: A Groundbreaking Epic Poem Exploring the Decline of Humanity

“The Mole” is a 20-volume epic poem that explores the decline of human morality through a series of independent yet thematically connected books, each depicting humanity at its best and worst.

In a bold departure from traditional narrative epics, “The Mole,” a modern epic poem comprising 20 volumes, is set to challenge and captivate readers with its potent exploration of the decline of human morality. Each volume is an independent work, yet together, they form an unsettling image of humanity at its best and worst. “The Mole” is a unique and innovative literary work that invites readers to engage with the complexities of contemporary life and the disintegration of moral values.

The narrative of “The Mole” unfolds in a world beset by chaos, catastrophes, massacres, and genocide. The poem paints a bleak picture of a declining civilization through vivid imagery and evocative metaphors. Unlike traditional epics such as “Gilgamesh,” “The Fairy Queen,” “Paradise Lost,” “The Odyssey,” “The Divine Comedy,” “Mahabharata,” and “Ramayana,” this modern epic rejects linear storytelling and causal relationships between its volumes. Instead, each book thrives as an independent block, contributing to a more considerable thematic continuity centered on the deterioration of man’s character and spiritual outlook.

Willem, the enigmatic protagonist of “The Mole,” adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to the narrative. He weaves in and out of the poem, appearing in several volumes before disappearing, only to reemerge as a puppeteer manipulating the story threads. Willem’s presence captivates the reader’s imagination, leaving them pondering his proper role in the unfolding drama.

Initially, the poem’s imaginative order and argument appeared uncertain. However, a deeper rereading revealed a solid and convincing motif of a declining civilization, unified not by narrative but by a relentless movement of images and ideas. The poem portrays man’s continuous cycle of destruction and reconstruction, underscoring the fragility of societal bonds.

The Mole’s thematic unity lies in depicting humanity’s collective moral decay. It highlights the wretchedness of man’s pursuit of pleasure and self-interest at the expense of the marginalized and vulnerable. Rather than focusing on individual consciousness, the poem examines society's moral failings.

“The Mole” is now available on Amazon for literary enthusiasts, scholars, and readers who seek a profound and thought-provoking exploration of humanity’s darkest and most complex aspects."
