Tales from the Kingdom of Lailonia Hardback
by Leszek Kolakowski
Hardback
Description
This volume contains two unusual and appealing satirical works by the well-known European philosopher Kolakowski.
The first, Tales from the Kingdom of Lailonia, is set in a fictional land.
Each story illustrates some aspect of human inability to come to terms with imperfection, infinitude, history, and nature.
The second, The Key to Heaven, is a collection of seventeen biblical tales from the Old Testament told in such a way that the story and the moral play off each other to illustrate political, moral, or existential foibles and follies.
