Terry Eagleton's On Evil is an in-depth discussion of the different aspects of evil. Its purpose, origin, tangibility, and psychology are discoursed upon in both fiction and real world examples.
The author himself has written numerous other books including Hope Without Optimism, The Illusions of Postmodernism, The Meaning of Life: A Short Introduction, and his very own memoir, The Gatekeeper. He is a renowned literary critic and was previously a professor at the University of Oxford and University of Manchester. Currently, he teaches English Literature at the University of Lancaster and serves as a visiting professor for the National University of Ireland. As for the author of the blog, I don't really want an "about". I just want to write about my cool book. I've always liked the idea of evil and the "dark side" of humans. There is a certain allure about evil I'm sure many people can relate to. |
