It chronicles the experiences of a man who decides that there is nothing of any value in the world. Slipping into nihilism with the \"terrible anguish\" he is determined to commit suicide. A chance encounter with a young girl, however, begins the man on a journey that re-instills a love for his fellow man. It was first published in A Writer's Diary. A BBC production called \"The Dream\" (1990) was adapted by Murray Watts from \"The Dream of a Ridiculous Man\". \"The Dream\" is a monologue. The director was Norman Stone (\"Shadowlands\") and it stars Jeremy Irons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 22, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42114463727751,"sku":"9781544838915","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c8ae9b3b059e56f4746899f6920d0b87.webp?v=1732499263","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-dream-of-a-ridiculous-man-paperback-4","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
