Chaudhuri shares the wisdom of his life as a dispassionate scholar and political moralist on a prevalent issue of our time, the decline of western civilization. A highly readable and visionary meditation, this work is characterized by Chaudhuri's capacity for prescience, measured prose, and acerbic judgements on a great variety of twentieth-century issues in the western world.

About the Author:
Nirad C. Chaudhuri is a Fellow of the Royal Literary Society.
Review:
`it is far more than a curiosity ... It deals with subjects of pressing importance; it has the power to disturb, to provoke and even (in spite of its prevailing gloom) to inspire ... He never shrinks from giving examples. He is excellent on the coarsening involved in the television adaptation
of Pride and Prejudice.'
John Gross, The Sunday Telegraph
`It is vigorous Chaudhuri fare, fed by an awareness of how other civilisations have declined.'
David Twiston Davies, The Daily Telegraph (Weekend Section)
`Chaudhuri still writes sentences of great vigour and clarity, and his descriptions of contemporary England have the wide-eyed charm of Gulliver in Lilliput.'
Ian Jack, The Observer
`sentences, in their rapid transition between erudition and personal comment, scholarly detail and detail from present-day popular culture, neutral observation and bitter humour, sum up the pace and tenor of the book ... any voice that identifies the present time as one of enervating and
apocalyptic upheaval is a voice of sanity ... Chaudhuri still is, and probably will for some time continue to be, our contemporary.'
Amit Chaudhuri, The Asian Age
`any voice that identifies the present time as one of enervating and apocalyptic upheaval is a voice of sanity ... This latest, small book, for all its pessimism ... confirms that Chaudhuri still is, and probably will for some time continue to be, our contemporary.'
Nirad C. Chaudhuri, Spectator
