Is every absolutely convergent series convergent?

Extract
There are various ways of introducing a discussion of the completeness of the system of real numbers. In this article we take the unusual approach suggested by the provocative question of the title.
In any elementary treatment of the convergence of sequences and series, a discussion of series of positive and negative terms will lead to the theorem that an absolutely convergent series is convergent.
