- Book Synopsis
- This book was first published in 1904, and was written while Alfred William Lawson was still a professional baseball player. The stories arc follows a reckless adventurer who is thrown overboard from a ship and he ends up in a new utopian fantasy world. A substantial amount of story in Born Again comprises of one of the characters elucidating Lawson's ideas to another character. In this way, you can gain insight into the thought process of Lawson and realize his expectations from his book. Apart from the preaching that happens within dialogue, the story consists of a typical 19th century character melodrama. Born Again is considered a great read if you are interested in learning about Lawson's philosophy and gain an understanding of his psyche. The heartfelt story about the destitute man giving away the money he found to someone else in the book's preface, and Lawson considering it one of the most heroic deeds he has ever witnessed, sets the tone for this novel from the very beginning. The philosophies and concepts that were described in this novel, later came to be known as Lawsonomy.
