Berkeley Square is a dignified and cerebral romance based on the Bergsonian-Einsteinian notion of Time, which hints that past, present and future are illusory, that the impression of fleeting moments, hours and years is not to be trusted.

But the fact remains that time is not the same in one place as in another and that...
...Geometry" On the assumption that Dr. Einstein's propositions are true, a new, non-Euclidian system of space and spatial measurement is built upon them. In this Einsteinian system, no line is absolutely straight; projected, the ends of any line will ultimately meet, forming a circle whose circumference is estimated at 18 quintillions of miles. An arc of this circle is as straight as a real line can be, and truly measures the shortest distance between two points in the universe as it actually exists?that is, in a universe full of conflicting masses of electricity and spinning bodies whose...
