The World is Ultimately a Strange Thing
About This Novel
"On a clear morning in July, I asked myself, where do we come from, where are we going, and what are we doing in this world? What is life and where does it come from? How does the universe work? Why is there something rather than nothing?" From mathematicians and Greek philosophers to Einstein and quantum theory, Newton and Darwin, people have been trying to answer these questions for three thousand years. In the past three or four centuries, the pace of history has accelerated. We have entered modernity and postmodernity. Science, technology and numbers have conquered the planet. Reason seems to have prevailed, allowing humans to replace gods and become the leaders of world affairs. Does life have any meaning, or is it just a bracket between two nothings? Is there hope beyond death? Jean Duanmusong, who loves travel, sea bathing, books and all the joys of human existence, explores these eternal problems from a new perspective, while raising questions about the mystery of human destiny and sketching novel pictures of life, history and mythology.
