Hardback. A late novel from one of the twentieth century's most important writers - a story of the relationships that restore meaning in a seemingly random universe. For years, Alfred Ludens has pursued mathematician and philosopher Marcus Vallar in the belief that he possesses a profound metaphysical formula, a missing link of great significance to mankind.Luden's friends are more sceptical. Jack Sheerwater, painter, thinks Marcus is crazy. Gildas herne, ex-preist, thinks he is evil. Patrick Fenman, poet, is dying because he thinks Marcus has cursed him. Marcus has disappeared and must be found.But is he a genius, a hero struggling at the bounds of human knowledge? Is he seeking God, or is he just another victim of the Holocaust, which casts its shadow upon him and upon Ludens, both of them Jewish?Can human thinking discover the foundations of human consciousness?Iris Murdoch's endlessly inventive imagination has touched a fundamental question of our time. condition good, inscription in front cover.

Iris Murdoch was a distinguished philosopher-novelist whose work earned her major British literary honours (Booker, Whitbread, James Tait Black), civic titles (CBE, DBE), and global recognition (Shakespeare Prize, Golden PEN). Her philosophy continues to be studied, while her fictions remain cornerstones of 20th-century English literature?profoundly influencing both academia and the public imagination. The Message to the Planet (1989) is a philosophical literary novel centered on the enigmatic Marcus Vallar, a former mathematician and artist who retreats from society and re-emerges as a healer and mystic figure. His sudden act of curing a dying man sets off waves of fascination, anxiety, and reverence among his friends and followers.
