Thrown out of his ex-wife¿s house, Herzog retreats to his abandoned home in a remote village in the Berkshire Mountains. Amid the dust of the disused house, he begins scribbling letters to family, friends, lovers, colleagues, enemies, dead philosophers, ex-presidents¿anyone with whom he feels compelled to set the record straight. The letters¿which are never sent¿are a means to cure himself of the psychic strain of the failures of his life: that of being a bad husband, a loving but poor father, an ungrateful child, a distant brother, an egoist to friends, and an apathetic citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHerzog\u003c\/em\u003e is primarily a novel of redemption. For all of its innovative techniques and brilliant comedy, it tells one of the oldest of stories. Like \u003cem\u003eThe Divine Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e, it progresses from darkness to light, from ignorance to enlightenment. Today it is still considered one of the greatest literary expressions of postwar America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114595598576,"sku":"2940169602517","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169602517_p0.jpg?v=1769897284","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169602517","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
