Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The clarity of Robert Choulerton's writing, and his informal, conversational style, make this book so accessible. It is a lucid and candid release into words of the private thoughts of an introvert - a compelling distillation of observations from a long life of reserve and passivity.His introspective faculty is brought to bear not only upon himself, but upon our species, Homo sapiens. He contemplates humanity from so many perspectives - from the parochial to the cosmic, from the wild to the civilized and from the pious to the secular. Critical of himself as well as of others, he never shies away from being contentious or polemical, but writes with a pleasing mix of playfulness and sincerity, with a keen eye for pretension and hypocrisy.With subject matter as various as motherhood, religious faith, sexual attraction, sports, multiculturalism, neighbourliness, sculpture and swear words, this book would make an entertaining and provocative 'Reader' for schools. It is full of human interest and educational value, full of ideas for pupils to think about, debate, and write about the very purposes, after all, for writing any book.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As in his first two books, Robert Choulerton sets out his thoughts in measured, eloquent English, with a touch of 'liberated' vocabulary, where necessary. Two aspects in particular, inform his writing. From the detached point of view of the introvert, he is personal, and always candid; from his humanistic point of view, he sees us not as God's chosen people but - the better to understand ourselves - as humanoid apes, of evolutionary provenance.To his credit, he does not scorn Christianity, but praises the comforts it can provide. Indeed, in his musings far and wide, he tempers disagreement with understanding. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Themes which emerged in Robert Choulerton's first collection, 'Lines from Lea Bailey', are developed here, with all his sensitivity to cultural trends, and his felicitous choice of words. There is an abiding sadness at the passing of old values, falling standards of courtesy and decency.His voice is candid, and personal, throughout, always with a touch of humour. Following up so many recollections from his long life, he clearly relishes his writing, ranging freely over any topic, from the intimate to the global.Always aware of his own limitations, and his atheistic point of view, he is an honest writer, well worth reading. While never losing sight of our evolutionary roots, the natural history of our species, he finds much strength and hope in our pioneering human spirit.…
