My wife read a bit of this book and lost interest :cry:. The condition is excellent, hardly used, and it looks new, with no creased pages. I'm willing to give this away to someone in North America who hasn't read this all-time classic yet.

I read some chapters from this pop book (not in English), but that was more than twenty years ago, and I don't think I ever finished.
I skipped straight away to the last chapter is sort of his philosophical stance.
I might give it another try.

It's really funny that for technical books I have more patience to read through than reading a pop book.
That's my evolution... I guess. :-)
