As the attached photos will attest, this is a beautiful first-edition first-printing of National Book Award-winning author Roger Shattuck's exploration of our headlong quest for knowledge and our accompanying abandonment of morality and the sacred.

Store description

I'm a booklover with a collection of around 3,000 books, most of them nonfiction, including history, politics, biography, sports, and social science, but also with some classic fiction titles from Don Quixote to Deliverance.

I don't list my phone number, but if you'd like to talk about the specifics of a particular book of mine, feel free to contact me via email and give me your call-back number.…
