Samenvatting:

In this incisive and beautifully-written collection of essays retired doctor Theodore Dalrymple writes about subjects as diverse as the legalisation of drugs, the death of Princess Diana and Marxism.

Each of the twenty six essys are a gem and Dalrymple writes with an insight and clarity that make them individually enlightening and enjoyable to read. They address a variety of subjects — from art and literature to drugs and colonialism, from Shakespeare to rock singer Marilyn Manson — all with regard to the declining culture of the West.

Theodore Dalrymple has worked in four continents and until his retirement worked as a psychiatrist in a British prison and an inner city hospital.
