Description
The Cunning Man by Robertson Davies is a profound exploration of what it means to be an actor in the divine comedy of life. When Father Hobbes mysteriously dies at the high altar on Good Friday, Dr Jonathan Hullah sets out to understand why.
As he reflects on his own long life, Hullah recalls the complex relationships and intellectual debates within his circle of friends, including their various pursuits and interests. Through this nostalgic look back, Davies reveals a compelling and humorous exploration of human nature.
This thought-provoking novel is a meditation on faith, identity, and the search for meaning in life's complexities.
