Description
This volume offers a rich sampling of George Steiner's ideas, including essays from his seminal books After Babel, The Death of Tragedy, Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, Language and Silence, and Antigones. Also included are excerpts from his recent novel, The Portage of San Cristobel of A.H.; a reprint of "The Cleric of Treason," on the British spy scandal surrounding Sir Anthony Blunt; and an introduction in which Steiner gives an interim statement on the progress of his work.
