Broschiertes Buch

Gentle Regrets

Thoughts from a Life

Beschreibung

Written in limpid prose, these autobiographical essays provide an insight into the mind and personality of Roger Scruton. This is a quiet, witty but also serious and moving account of the ways in which life brought him to think what he thinks, and to be what he is. His moving vignettes of his childhood and later influences illuminate this book.
