To call an author "a renaissance man" would be extravagant had The Magic Ring and Other Tales come from the pen of other than noted physician, scientist, professor, poet and Argentinian-born author, Dr. Félix Fernández-Madrid. Tales from The Magic Ring are hypnotic as the author's vivid imagination and the diversity of his collection push the boundaries of creativity successfully.Travel into a womb to follow the thoughts of a fetus and those of a mother tormented by a surprising and unwanted pregnancy in, "Right to Life".Slide through a slit in time and travel into the future to a great capital city and witness the consequences of human mistakes in, "The Sunken Colossus".Attend the funeral of a man thought to be dead who was still alive and witness the miraculous return of his dead companion in, "The Secret Pact".Read the riveting centerpiece story, "The Magic Ring", in which an insane man gets a glimpse of his long-forgotten, suspense-filled past through the enchantment of a smoke ring.Readers will experience how the unusual can fascinate in Fernández-Madrid's magnetic collection of stories - filled with passion, political satire, humor and the suspense this inventive author always provides. "Every time I reread The Magic Ring, I am delighted again by the author's imagination and the diversity of his vivid tales," I. Michael Grossman, author, Shrinkwrapped: My First Fifty Years On the Couch.
