    About this ebook

    Powys sought the simple life in rural England. This collection of musings on philosophy and religion reflect an unconventional, searching mind. Blending Christianity with Nietzsche, he declared himself “sometimes a Christian and sometimes a heathen.” His pessimistic brand of Christianity embraces death as “God’s best gift—the great inaction...eternal peace.”
