Customer Reviews

Long on insights - short on dogma.

Koestler is a remarkable man, and his work is the product of his many experiences. Disillusioned member of the Russian communist party, imprisoned during the Spanish civil war,refugee from the holocaust, philosopher, scientist, historian, Koestler comments on many subjects from quantum physics to ESP to evolution. It is rare to find so many insights with so little dogma. A true multi-disciplinarian, he is essential reading for anyone developing a life-view. "Bricks to Babel" is part auto-biographical, part essay, and part extracts from Koestler's key works. It's a must-read for anyone familiar with Koestler's work, and a perfect introduction for anyone who isn't. Hard to find, but worth waiting for
