Author: George Steiner
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 160
In this work, Steiner draws on episodes from his life to explore the central ideas and themes of his thinking and writing over seven decades. Never a critic to evade the "big questions", Steiner explores such topics as the nature of music, the genius of Homer, Shakespeare and Racine, the atrocities of our century, the relationship between democracy and culture, translation and multilingualism, the nature of the Jews, the purpose of the university and the teachers who inspired him, and finally science, atheism and religion as he sees them both towards the end of the millennium and of his own life.
