Beyond The River

A novel

by Christopher S. Brown

A simple trip to visit a dying friend sends precocious nine-year-old Wendell Felix Bernstein on a harrowing journey of self-discovery through the Jungian world of the collective unconscious.  With Western Literature’s most famous underworld guide, and Western Civilization’s most dominant archetype by his side, Wendell discovers within himself the courage to face his greatest fear, the power to love, and, ultimately, a solution to a riddle that has vexed mankind since the beginning: what does lie just beyond the river?

At just over 51,000 words, and written in an engaging, first person narrative style, this novel is accessible and readable for the general adult population; but students and lovers of literature, psychology, and theology will enjoy finding familiar faces and themes throughout.

Christopher S. Brown holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Divinity in Practical Theology.  He is the husband of one and the father of four.  Chris lives, teaches, paints and writes in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
