Sobre este audiolivro
Common assumptions are dismantled with joyful precision in this collection of sharp-edged essays. The author champions the ordinary and the spiritual against the cold mechanics of modern thought. Paradoxes abound as he turns the world upside down to show us the truth falling out of its pockets. A stimulating intellectual workout that defends the romance of reality.
