The Book of Dead Philosophers
In this collection of brief lives (and deaths) of nearly two hundred of the world's greatest thinkers, noted philosopher Simon Critchley creates a register of mortality that is tragic, amusing, absurd, and exemplary. From the self-mocking haikus of Zen masters on their deathbeds to the last words of Christian saints and modern-day sages, this irresistible book contains much to inspire both amusement and reflection. Informed by Critchley's acute insight, scholarly intelligence, and sprightly wit, each entry tells its own tale, but collected together they add up to a profound and moving investigation of meaning and the possibility of happiness for us all.

Chiara, Ljudbok
Chiara måste finnas bortom molnen. Jag kommer att få komma till all den skönhet som finns där. Frågan, varför jag lämnats ensam på jorden, ska jag få svar på, för därborta finns alla svar.I ett gastkramande tempo får vi lära känna Lucifer i hans äventyr bland människorna. Frågor han burit på sedan tidernas begynnelse ska nu besvaras: var är Gud? Hur tar jag mig in i himlen? Vem ska jag hämnas på för alla oförrätter jag tilldelats? Det som får Lucifer att närma sig sanningen är Chiaras flykt från hans svarta tält. Jakten leder till Vatikanens främsta ämbete och blir det spår utefter vilket romanens karta blir ritad.Romanen Chiara tar oss på ett äventyr i såväl tid och rum som i mötet människor emellan. Det är en roman med poetiska kvaliteter, en roman som reflekterar vårt eget ständiga sökande i tillvaron.
