The Curious Enlightenment of Professor Caritat by Steven Lukes
Presents a fictional journey through Western political philosophy. This book shows how professor Caritat confronts the perplexed state of modern thinking in this comedy of ideas.
Written in a beautifully clear style, full of a keen, serious wit.. Lukes achieves both lightness and weight in a way many novelists might envy. * Independent *
This book is a box of delights, often wonderfully funny and always deliciously clever, a contemporary political satire to set among the best. * New Statesman *
Steven Lukes's moral fable is in the tradition of tall travellers' tales from Swift and Voltaire to Lewis Carroll and Samuel Butler. * London Review of Books *
Knock-out satirical humour. * Times Literary Supplement *
Lukes manages to equal the pace and flair of Candide. * New York Times Book Review *
Utterly magnetic. * Los Angeles Times Book Review *
