DescriptionIn Paris in Springtime: An Episode, author Andrew Webster charts his distressing and colourful world of 'madness'. His manic depression takes him to France where he destroys his driving licence, passport and credit cards believing that this will give him new freedom. Within a day of leaving a comfortable hotel, he is homeless on the streets of Paris, without money, destitute. His paranoia has him convinced he is being hunted. In this exhausted and fragile state he has a spiritual experience: believing that he is living the Christ-Consciousness; the Initiations of the Initiate's journey. Writing has helped Andrew heal trauma. About the AuthorAndrew Webster's career and marriage ended with the onset of manic depression in 1990. Born in 1955, Webster, educated at Harrow, did a Short Service commission in the Army before joining the Food Industry - working up from shop floor to senior management within six years. In 1995, he founded mental health and employment charity, Talent To Work which successfully challenged State Benefit regulations, also winning a New Deal contract for its innovative Manchester employment project, for people with mental health problems. In 2009, Webster's manic depression resurfaced and he experienced a psychotic illness and profound spiritual awakening in Paris.
