Synopsis

She said, 'We are forced to live as if we were free - but surely it's obvious we are not free.'He said, 'So what does freedom feel like? Can we ever truly be free?''It's a hard road. It's not for the weak. Believe in me, in yourself, and we'll find it. Here, in Oxford, or wherever the road takes us.'He said, 'I believe in you.'Against the suffocating mores and conventions of society, Dorothea and Joseph philosophise their way to the thing-in-itself; fighting all along the way professional censure, family opposition, moral scorn and the terrifyingly heavy chains we make unwittingly for ourselves; in a heady mix of explicit sexual encounters and experimentation, visionary drug-taking, emotional independence and reflections on Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and the joy of intoxication. As his tutor, Dorothea Lotman is more than willing to teach: and Joseph Knight eager to learn: whatever the cost.Whatever it takes.
