He is unremarkable, other than an unusual neurotic tic: the imaginary sound of band music plays in the background of his life, particularly at moments of high emotion. But by writing a book – the result of his own experience – discussing euthanasia for senile elderly people and by lecturing on the delicacy of German literary culture, John has unintentionally made himself a very desirable acquisition for the Nazi party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA profound and alarming examination of passivity and the rationalisation of evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1982, this new edition was published to coincide with the West End revival in 2022 starring David Tennant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596492947692,"sku":"9781350376274","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350376274-good.jpg?v=1777928044"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/c-p-taylor.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
