The Path of Hope

About the Book

The Path of Hope is a play that actually portrays the social reality of the people and how to live in a society where we belong. It is really not a book whose value can be achieved by mere literary analysis. Then, sooner or later, the same book will take its place in American literature and also in the world literature. The reality is that the poor will always remain poor and the rich always rich. Finally, there is always a way of hope to go and that Almighty God is the light of hope to the people who have suffered and been humiliated by man’s selfishness in dominating other men to his own detriment.
