The Timeless Life Of Thelonious : The Monk

The Timeless Life of Thelonious, The Monk: is book one in a series of historic fiction novels, by Venson Jordan. The short novels chronicle the fantastic life of the traveler and wise man Thelonious Munkusi. Thelonious is an African man with a genetic defect that slows the process of aging. After his 25th birthday, Thelonious will only age one year every decade. But it never stopped him from living. This story is one of the greatest journeys of all times, an odyssey that spanned the life of a man who lived longer and traveled farther than anyone in recorded history. His Journey began at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year 1918. As elder son of a tribal chief, Thelonious was sent on an errand to examine the trade capacity of two foreign merchants. His fortune changed when he was abducted to be sold as a slave at the underground market in Bombay, India. A mysterious Indian woman buys his freedom in exchange for three years' service at her Yacht Club. Eventually she establishes an affection for Thelonious she cannot contain, and the intensity of their friendship makes a drastic change. While in china, Thelonious accepts the gift of a sacred bird and prepares to travel the world. Full of inspiring situations, and exciting details, the first installment in this series pulls together the early years and unforgettable times in the life of Thelonious; and sets the stage for many adventures to come. In the secret world of academia many people know who Thelonious Munkusi was, but only a small circle of experts knew what he was, or how he lived; until now. Though many of the characters are fictitious much of the history is not, a balanced formula that leaves the reader informed and entertained.
