Sinossi

A unique and anarchic blend of autobiography with moral, political and personal reflections. Eagleton was born in Salford in 1943, the grandchild of Irish immigrant labourers; his impoverished childhood seems centred on the life of a convent of enclosed nuns; Eagleton was one of few working-class students at Cambridge in the 1960s and was made the youngest Fellow there since the 18th century; he is now Thomas Warton Professor of English at Oxford. His memoir recounts the most comic and moving moments of his life, connecting these episodes with thoughts about God, evil, suffering and tragedy.
