Opis

Iris Murdoch conjures a murky London setting for a story of a brilliant and flawed man hoping for redemptiton.
Saved by education from a delinquent childhood, cheated out of Oxford by a tragic love tangle, Hilary Burde cherishes his obsessive guilt and disappointment in a dull, orderly civil service job. When the man whom he has harmed and betrayed reappears as head of his department, Hilary hopes for forgiveness, even for redemption and a new life, but finds himself haunted by a ghostly repetition.
- With a new introduction by Ray Monk (British philosopher and academic)
