Language: English
Published by Penguin Random House, 1989
ISBN 10: 0701134798 ISBN 13: 9780701134792
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.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Murdoch, Iris. The message to the planet. First edition. London: Chatto & Windus, 1989. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket with very minor shelfwear. Green cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. 563pp. Light tanning to edges of page block. Contents clean and bright. Reaction to the novel was mixed, both by contemporary reviewers and by later critics and scholars. Anatole Broyard, an admirer of Murdoch's novels, wrote that after reading it "I still don't know whether it is a great novel, a merely interesting one, or an unclassifiable pandemonium". Another reviewer remarked that anyone "seeking an untroubled read and pat answers should seek them elsewhere". In his study of Iris Murdoch's fiction, Peter Conradi wrote that The Message to the Planet was a "lesser" novel, inferior to its predecessor The Philosopher's Pupil, but with some memorable scenes. On the other hand, Suguna Ramanathan calls it "an extraordinary achievement" and "of all her 24 novels, the largest in scope and most powerful in thrust". RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions. All images are of the actual book for sale - no stock images are ever used. Thank you for looking at this listing.
