Brought to you by Penguin.VINTAGE CLASSICS MURDOCH: Funny, subversive, fearless and fiercely intelligent, Iris Murdoch was one of the great writers of the twentieth century. To celebrate her centenary Vintage Classics presents special editions of her greatest and most timeless novels.'I saw a monster rising from the waves.'Charles Arrowby has determined to spend the rest of his days in hermit-like contemplation. He buys a mysteriously damp house on the coast, far from the heady world of the theatre where he made his name, and there he swims in the sea, eats revolting meals and writes his memoirs. But then he meets his childhood sweetheart Hartley, and memories of her lovely, younger self crowd in - along with more recent lovers and friends - to disrupt his self-imposed exile. So instead of 'learning to be good', Charles proceeds to demonstrate how very bad he can be.Winner of the Man Booker Prize 1978.(c) Iris Murdoch 1978 (P) Penguin Audio 2020

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Iris Murdoch

Jean Iris Murdoch (Dublin, 15 de julho de 1919 - Oxford, 8 de fevereiro de 1999) foi uma filósofa irlandesa.
Estudou Literaturas Clássicas, História Antiga e Filosofia no Somerville College, e fez uma pós-graduação também em Filosofia. Foi membro ativo do Partido Comunista até se distanciar da ideologia. Trabalhou na U.N.N.R.A. e deu aulas no Royal College of Art.
A partir de 1963 dedicou-se à escrita, tendo produzido 26 romances em 40 anos, os últimos escritos já enquanto sofria de Alzheimer. Em todas as suas obras podem ser observadas discussões com os filósofos, tendo como inimigo o caráter fatalista que o pensamento existencialista desencadeou.
Escreveu romances, contos, ensaios, peças e poemas. Entre as suas obras mais célebres estão O Mar, o Mar, vencedor do Prémio Booker (1978), O Príncipe Negro, vencedor do Prémio James Tait Black Memorial Prize (1973) e Os Olhos da Aranha (1956).
Em 2008, foi nomeada na lista «50 maiores escritores britânicos desde 1945», do The Times.
