The Spinoza Problem by Irvin D. Yalom


Irvin D. Yalom's beautifully crafted psycho-philosophical novel The Spinoza Problem is a book I feel I must recommend.

The 'plot' deals principally with the inner lives of the novel's two main characters; the 17th century philosopher Baruch Spinoza and the 20th century anti-semetic Nazi Alfred Rosenberg.

The author has an amazing website at www.yalom.com

The Spionoza Problem is a book for the thoughtful reader and at the same time an exciting page turner.

      On his blog there's a list of all his books. There's even a short story on there to read.

      Good morning. And you can guess what I'm "reading right now" ;) It'll be the short story I just mentioned to Yael (above).
