Bøker av Paul R. Olson

The "GAMBIAN AFFAIR" is a true story of how unscrupulous native West Africans attempt to take advantage of good hearted, but gullible, American businessmen who, in their desire to "hit it big", with emotions ruling, let down the barriers of common sense. The reader will be both amused and horrified at the events as they are authentically chronicled. A bizarre turn of events at the end will certainly give the reader something to think about for a long time. African names, dates and places are authentic as is all the correspondence. Only the names and places of the Americans involved have been changed.

This work explores the use of the grammatical figure called the chiasmus in the work of Miguel de Unamuno. He explores concepts, usually considered opposites, such as mind and body or spirit and matter. Olson's readings lead to observations on Spanish history and events in Unamuno's life.
