Description

In her 1985 CBC Massey Lectures Doris Lessing addresses the question of personal freedom and individual responsibility in a world increasingly prone to political rhetoric, mass emotions, and inherited structures of unquestioned belief.

The Nobel Prize-winning author of more than thirty books, Doris Lessing is one of our most challenging and important writers.
