Richard Dawkins has never been one to tiptoe around ideas. In Brief Candle in the Dark, he lights up a lifetime of intellectual battles, absurd encounters, and dazzling discoveries.
From the explosive success of The Selfish Gene to the culture-shaking roar of The God Delusion, Dawkins pulls back the curtain on the moments that defined him. He reveals the inspirations behind his most influential books and the controversies that followed.
With a mischievous grin, he skewers academia’s quirks, recounts debates with fellow “New Atheists,” and shares stories of encounters with scientific legends.
But this is more than name-dropping and nostalgia. It is an unflinching exploration of what it means to fight for reason in a world resistant to it. Will the candle keep burning?
