Powys sought the simple life in rural England. This collection of musings on philosophy and religion reflect an unconventional, searching mind. Blending Christianity with Nietzsche, he declared himself “sometimes a Christian and sometimes a heathen.” His pessimistic brand of Christianity embraces death as “God’s best gift—the great inaction...eternal peace.”
