Newly published book reveils that luck is more than a roll of the dice

In Fortuna Alleno’s Luck, readers quickly learn that luck is also a quest. In this case, one that transports us around the globe and offers a uniquely compelling reason to read this book…and believe in luck.

Zurich, Switzerland (PRWEB) February 11, 2006 -- Fortuna Alleno’s Luck has been called great fun, fascinating and very original by the brilliant Fay Weldon. And for good reason! According to author Fortuna Alleno, “..when two Chinese-American scientists, Chen Ning Yang and Tsung-Dao Lee, had to decide whether to continue their experiments in Particle Physics, they consulted their copy of the I Ching, the ancient Chinese book of prophecy. The answer told them to persevere with conviction and the two went on to win the Nobel Prize…”

From definitions of luck to how luck affects lives around the world, the author has written a highly engaging book. Using friends Karl and Marie-Louise to lead the search, Luck digs and probes into many aspects of what the public considers lucky. The testimonials and anecdotes that constitute this book bring new light to the concept of “luck” and what is considered “Lucky”. What happens when one is out of luck, or has never felt Lucky? What is it about timing, Karma, Lucky charms and numbers? Who is Lady Luck…and why doesn’t she show up more often?

One cannot speak of luck without mentioning the other side: bad luck. Can bad luck be avoided? Throughout history, how have we perceived bad luck, in terms of its causes and cures? In Luck, Fortuna Alleno has given us a comprehensive treatise that is as interesting as it is entertaining. Luck is ideal for anyone wanting the last, Lucky word on the subject.
