A whirlwind fictional tour through the utopias of our modernity.

The Curious Enlightenment of Professor Caritat is a brilliant fictional journey through Western political philosophy by one of our most original thinkers. Professor Caritat, a middle-aged Candide, walks naively through the neighbouring countries of Utilitaria, Communitaria and Libertaria, in his quest to find the best of all possible worlds. Cut loose from the confines of his ivory tower, this wandering professor is made to confront the perplexed state of modern thinking in this dazzling comedy of ideas.

Lukes manages to equal the pace and flair of Candide. New York Times Book Review Utterly magnetic. Lo ( )

A satirical jaunt through western political philosophy, in the style of Candide and Gulliver's Travels. Perhaps a bit heavy-handed in parts, but often very amusing and definitely an enjoyable read. May send you off to Google details and allusions often, so be warned. ( )
