From the Back Cover
"Her lectures are serious and superb." - Globe and Mail
"Lessing holds out history, science, art, philosophy, and literature as the keys to the prison of conformity. And we would do well to heed her advice. Because it is there--in the collective experience of those who have gone before us and have walked beside us--that we will find the tools we need to go on." - Village Voice
In these five lectures Doris Lessing addresses the question of personal freedom and individual responsibility in a world increasingly prone to political rhetoric, mass emotions, and inherited structures of unquestionable belief. In her remarkably forthright style, Lessing attacks inhumanity and ignorance, urging the individual to rise above the constraints of our society, to build a better world.
Doris Lessing was born in Persia (now Iran), raised in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and currently lives in London. Author of more than thirty books , Lessing won the David Cohen Literature Prize and was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Man Booker International Prize for her progressive and insightful works.
