A Fable on Manhood
The Four Battles is a literary allegory in the tradition of Pilgrim’s Progress, The Alchemist, and The Richest Man in Babylon. It follows a man named Max, a Sage who mentors him, a fellow traveler named Silas who quits and returns, and an internal antagonist called the Warden through four symbolic battles: The Mountain, The Mask, The Fire, and The Compass. It is a book about the fight to become who you were made to be, told in the form of a story that men can hand to other men.
