The most renowned biologist of our time in a revealing work. A book overflowing with Richard Dawkins' passion for all the subjects that concern him, for all the issues that directly affect our lives. With persuasiveness and vigor, the texts express the author's fundamental axiom: "seek the truth"!

"I am very hostile towards every organized religion because it is extremely authoritarian. It has power, exerts influence, is exempt from taxation, and is systematically imposed on the young. And I disagree with the argument that it is harmless; it is very dangerous - especially for the ignorant and for children."

"Dawkins develops his positions on evolution, ethics, politics, ecology, the supposed genes of homosexuals, and unleashes thunderbolts against God, mysticism, and pseudoscience. His courage amazes us, his wisdom teaches us, his language captivates us; he leaves us speechless with the straightforwardness of his arguments and with his unique inspiration."

On its pages blows the strong wind of rationalism. The book brilliantly proves the superiority of science over all attempts at irrational proselytization. People are faithful to religion for one reason alone: they were raised that way and never learned anything better. When given the opportunity to learn, and then express their preference, it is scientists who are validated, while charlatans decline.

"As a scientist, I am a passionate Darwinist, who believes that natural selection is certainly the only known force guiding evolution. But at the same time, I am also a passionate anti-Darwinist when it comes to politics and how we should deal with human affairs."
