Opis

What is the point of working so hard? What can replace the shortage of soul-mates? What else can one do in a hotel? Taking as his premise that the great questions of the twenty-first century have not yet been asked, let alone answered, Theodore Zeldin applies his celebrated passion and wit to exploring what it means to be alive in the third millennium. In an era where geographical barriers have been swept away, extraordinary scientific progress illuminates and overwhelms in equal measure, and even the outer reaches of the universe are within sight, the intimate thoughts and muddled feelings of each of seven billion unique individuals remain largely hidden. Considering both lovers and leaders, intimate companions as well as ideological enemies, Zeldin illustrates the importance of human interaction, and the oft-ignored art of becoming 'a couple' to combat isolation, fear and lack of fulfilment. Only by truly relating to others can we get a taste, even just a nibble, of what it is possible to experience as a human being.
