Reseña del editor:
Drawing on anecdote, autobiography, and an extraordinary range of reading, novelist Tim Parks has fused together essay and narrative to create a beguilingly new reading experience, at once charming, gripping and intellectually mind-blowing. Whether he is exploring ghosts or First World War Heroes, Indian gods or Verona Football Club, adultery or the EC, each piece moves with masterful assurance towards those moments of illumination when finally we appreciate, if only fleetingly, the relationship between our most intimate experiences and the larger world of ideas, and in doing so grasp the principles that underlie our modern way of life.
Reseña del editor:

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in very good condition. Amazon This is a collection of pieces which lie somewhere between essays and narratives. The first is called "Adultery". It tells the story of the author's friend and squash partner who, after nine years of marriage, has an affair. The man is transformed by the romance of this new encounter. The writer feels its reverberations in his own life: what would happen if he had an affair? How can a marriage possibly remain exciting? His friend is risking everything, and for what? This is the starting point for Parks' journey of enquiry which takes in, amongst other areas, "Fidelity", "Maturity", "Europe", "Glory" and "Charity". He takes his subjects, which can sound dry, and spins them into a series of fascinating expositions which draw on personal, philosophical and cultural examples. Though he has a massive frame of reference, he doesn't wield his knowledge with bombastic authority. He is not interested in knowledge but in understanding experience, and when he calls in Wittgenstein or Shakespeare, they provide useful connecting tissue only where relevant to the issues in his own life. He teaches without didacticism and entertains while revealing truth. The book is funny, unpretentious and compelling, and combines the gravitas of philosophy with the thrill of good gossip.
