The director of a monastery tries to defend ancient privileges of the Order, in collision with modern constitutional principles, becoming a victim of his own success. A social outcast finds a novel way of becoming an indispensable member of society. A disgruntled employee fights the perverse practices of a corporation and meets a tragic but redeeming fate.
IRONIES is a collection of three stories, which although placed in different contexts, nevertheless address the same basic theme: The struggle of humanity for asserting its place in society according with ethical principles of conduct. The way that circumstances shape the future, sometimes in perverse and ironic ways, leads to surprising and unintended consequences.
