Between the Monster and the Saint: Reflections on the Human
Being human isn't easy. We might think that consciousness and freedom will give us control over our lives but our minds are dangerous and unpredictable places. We are susceptible to forces we don't understand. In his thought-provoking new book, Richard Holloway holds up a mirror to the human condition.

Description
Provocative, wide-ranging and full of wisdom, Between the Monster and the Saint is a brilliant book about our place in the world.
Being human isn't easy. We might think that consciousness and freedom will give us control over our lives, but our minds are dangerous and unpredictable places. We are susceptible to forces we don't understand. We are capable of inflicting immense cruelty on one anotherβviolence, torture and rapeβand yet we also have the capacity to be tender, to empathise, to feel.
In his thought-provoking new book, Richard Holloway holds up a mirror to the human condition.
