Beautiful Essays

This is not at all a collection of "philosophical" essays. There's no philosophy, and no one even pretends that this is philosophy. It's a collection of essays that broadly speaking can be classified under the category of cultural criticism, but it's much more personal and humane - and it's exactly due to its personal quality that the book is worth a read.
