Description

An inquiry into the Nature of Being.

52 essays (July 1997 to October 1999).

You are invited to join a curious mind on a journey to explore the reality we live in—to examine the truth, the half-truth, and the lies. As in the previous collection of Essays, here, Kapuscinski delves into diverse ancient scriptures, as well as into the latest scientific discoveries.

The Essays do not offer facile answers. They endeavour to awaken in you a desire to think for yourself, to rely on your own judgment, to give you the confidence to face the world on your own terms.

"...The Baboon, Birds of Paradise, Miracles, Antichrist, among others, are all jewels, which still linger in my mind. As for Heaven, I couldn't stop laughing. All in all, they are a marvellous introduction to his Visualization—Creating Your Own Universe, which could be regarded as the quintessence of all his essays."

(From B. Happach, 5-Star review.)

In the Second Collection, the author also demonstrates his unique perspective on subjects dealing with life and death.

Now, with the Virus Pandemic sweeping the whole world, this inquiry is particularly pertinent.
