Description



Book Synopsis



From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Denial of Death, a penetrating and insightful perspective on the source of evil in our world.

"A profound, nourishing book...absolutely essential to the understanding of our troubled times." --Anais Nin

"An urgent essay that bears all the marks of a final philosophical raging against the dying of the light." --Newsweek

"Brilliant and challenging...adds another bit of reason to balance destruction...It is, in the best sense of the words, both scientific and philosophical...of the highest importance." --Los Angeles Times
