Novel "The Return of the Vespucci" Daniel Veith wrote his first novel The Return of the Vespucci at the age of 18. Until 2001 he revised the book several times (500 pages). The Italian spirits producer Policarpo Peruzzi (64) considers himself the greatest humanist on earth. Obviously he also wants his children to become great humanists. But they do not have the same ideas like their father: They convert to perverse disciples of immorality. Policarpo’s daughter Simonetta is a divinely gifted reporter for pornographic magazines, Sandro told his parents a few days ago, that he has been sharing his bed with a sluttish girl-friend for more than half a year, but the summit of degeneration is marked by his other children, Aristotile and Raffaella, whose activities lead to the complete end of the world... Extremely shocked and disappointed from his children and his life, Policarpo decides after 47 years of abstinence and religious mania to become a “real” man and not to continue with his horrifying life. The psychological basic idea of the novel is the phenomenon of the “delayed puberty”: Policarpo lived under the influence of his parents and his wife who repressed his normal psycho-sexual development. As a result of permanent brainwashing Policarpo created around himself an idyllic and idealistic world of religion and faith. One day, this catholic conception of the world collapses: His children revolt. Policarpo recognizes that he was a mental slave of the moral perversion of his wife and his parents. The “boulder of Catholicism” that weighed heavily on his soul is put away and Policarpo reaches puberty – half a century too late. But why does Simonetta Vespucci, the goddess of beauty in Florence of the 15th century, feature in the book title...?   Chapter 1 - 10 (in German - 47 pages) If you want to read this document, you need the software “Acrobat Reader” (version 4.0 oder higher).
