Niklas reviewed Humanly Possible by Sarah Bakewell
Laudable, fantastically well-researched, and wondrous
4 stars
This book took me on a wild journey across centuries where I learned much about humanism and its travels from the beginning to the current day. This is a blast of a book, a fun and funny ride that is highly scholarly in the best possible sense: Sarah knows her stuff very well and is my favourite living author. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's into history, humanism, philosophy, and anthropology. Wide and wild, baby.
