This “wicked, melancholy, and . . . astonishing” novel reimagines the lives of three wildly different men adrift in the 20th century: Ludwig Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, and G. E. Moore (Newsday). When Bruce Duffy’s The World As I Found It was first published, critics and readers were bowled over by its daring reimagining of the lives of three very different men, the philosophers Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. A brilliant group portrait with the vertiginous displacements of twentieth-century life looming large in the background, Duffy’s novel depicts times and places as various as Vienna 1900, the trenches of World War I, Bloomsbury, and the colleges of Cambridge, while the complicated main characters appear not only in thought and dispute but in love and despair. Wittgenstein, a strange, troubled, and troubling man of gnawing contradictions, is at the center of a novel that reminds us that the apparently abstract and formal questions that animate philosophy are nothing less than the intractable matters of life and death.

Sometimes, a book’s title speaks for itself. Borrowing from one of Jesus’ most succinct and poignant parables, Lionel Jean-Jacques spreads his immeasurable exuberance in discovering and attaining the universe’s greatest treasure, Jesus Christ and His gospel. Jean-Jacques opens the book with a personal start, sharing his ups and downs in taking Scripture and spiritual matters more seriously and ultimately approaching the decision to be born again. He incorporates notable Bible case studies to encourage readers to realize they are not alone in their struggles: Nicodemus was hesitant; Jonah was painfully stubborn. The author diversifies his talking points, eventually venturing into some critically unique elements of Seventh-day Adventism. Though it may seem like he strays from the title, he knits things together nicely. Understanding and accepting the Sabbath, the state of the dead, and embracing and participating in the three angels’ messages are all part of selling everything one has to acquire the priceless Pearl. Preparing for the calamities and deceptions of the end times goes hand in hand with the yearning to spend eternity with our Lord and Savior.

Buddhadeva Bose belonged to that generation of Bengali writers of the thirties and forties who fought tooth and nail to escape the all-pervading influence of Rabindranath Tagore to establish their personal idioms. He succeeded, but the fascination, admiration, and awe of the older poet remained. He twice visited Shantiniketan with his family, once in 1938 and then in the summer of 1941, invited by the poet himself. The younger poet, who in youth rebelled against him, now worshipped him and truly loved him. The title of this memoir Sab Peyechhir Deshe (‘The land where I found it all’) says it all. He intended to give this book personally to Rabindranath as a gift of his deep appreciation, but, sadly, by the time the book came out of the press, Rabindranath had passed away. And what had been conceived as a gift of gratitude now turned into an elegy, a younger poet’s homage to his Master. This book has been ever a favourite with Bengali readers, and constitutes an invaluable addition to the study of Tagore and his life.
