Description
Alan Macfarlane's Letters to Lily On How the World Works is a thought-provoking series of letters that explore fundamental questions about existence, morality and human experience.
Addressed to his teenage granddaughter, these thirty letters tackle a wide range of topics, from personal identity and relationships to politics, philosophy and culture. Macfarlane draws on his expertise as a historian, anthropologist and teacher to provide insightful responses to Lily's challenging questions.
The result is a book that offers a unique perspective on the world we live in, its rules and how to behave within it. A valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand themselves and their place in society.
