Author:Arthur Schopenhauer
A fascinating examination of ethics, religion and psychology, this selection of Schopenhauer's works contains scathing attack on the nature and logic of religion, and an essay on ethics that ranges from the American slavery debate to the vices of Buddhism.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
'One of those rare books that takes you to its heart and refuses to let go'
—— Lorenzo Carcaterra, author of Sleepers'Compulsive reading and may be the year's best science fiction novel'
—— John Clute , Mail on Sunday'Brilliant first novel about the discovery of extraterrestrial life...Shades of Wells, Ursula Le Guin and Arthur C. Clarke, with just a dash of Edgar Rice Burroughs - and yet strikingly original'
—— Kirkus Reviews'One of the years's most powerful and disturbing books'
—— The Times'A parable about human life on Earth, with all its imperfections, failings, doubts, wisdom and erudition...The Sparrow is a startling, engrossing and moral work of fiction'
—— Colleen McCullough'A tangy blend of psychological insight and impassioned lyricism, passed through a sieve of diamond-clear prose...The Sparrow has depth, pace, engaging characters and an alien culture that knocks you sideways'
—— Time Out'A hopeful sign that science fiction might reclaim its heritage as a literature with boundless capacity to kindle wonder'
