Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a psychological thriller that explores the nature of human intellect and its relationship to happiness, morality, and the pursuit of knowledge. The author sets the story in the late 19th century, a time when Victorian society was grappling with the rise of Darwinian thought and the challenges to traditional beliefs. Through the enigmatic character of Reuben Power, a brilliant but emotionally detached Cambridge student, the book examines the consequences of seeking truth and understanding at the expense of human connection and empathy. Power, obsessed with finding a new standpoint for understanding humanity, becomes increasingly isolated and drawn to a shocking experiment: he forms a bond with a monkey he believes can provide him with an unbiased perspective on the human condition. The book delves into the complex questions of what defines humanity, the role of instinct versus reason, and the potential dangers of seeking absolute knowledge. Ultimately, this gripping tale reminds us that the pursuit of intellectual enlightenment must be balanced with compassion and the fundamental truths of human connection. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330220467_0
