The Examined Life - Paperback

by Theodore Dalrymple (Author)

When Theodore Dalrymple wrote The Examined Life, poking fun at modern man's excessive concern for his own health, he little thought that Covid-19 would soon turn satire into reality. Are there considerations in life other, or more important, than health? The protagonist of this biting satire knew the answer even before Covid-19 struck. Theodore Dalrymple is a retired doctor and psychiatrist who has written many books, including Life at the Bottom, Admirable Evasions and Around the World in the Cinemas of Paris.
