Before the great novels of Wessex and Glastonbury, John Cowper Powys set out his view of life in a full-length philosophical treatise. He argues that the human self meets the universe through a many-sided vision, and he sets contemplation and insight against a commercial civilisation that prizes action above all and against the tyranny of machinery over the human spirit.
An unusual key to Powys’s fiction and a strange, personal work of philosophy in its own right. Download the free EPUB.
