Selected here are some of his finest personal essays about Algeria and its environs, including the luminous ‘Nuptials at Tipasa’, one of his earliest works where he developed the themes that would inform his later philosophy: to thrive now, without hope for paradise, as mortal life alone can be worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55148047597943,"sku":"9780241752012","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9780241752012.jpg?v=1745337123","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9780241752012","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
