‘A joy’ Philippe Sands ‘Glorious’ David Spiegelhalter A
fascinating, enchanting and personal look at the meaning of luck,
and the way in which it has shaped our shared history and continues
to inflect our day to day lives. What does it mean to be lucky? How
might we mitigate the effects of bad luck and maximise those of
good? Is there really such a thing as ‘luck’ at all? To answer
these questions, David Flusfeder sets out on a quest that will take
him across the world and through history. Travelling from Siberia
to Versailles, from his father’s life in war-time Poland to
Nietzsche on the slopes of Vesuvius, Flusfeder investigates some
victors of luck and those who were defeated by it. In following
him, we find ourselves confronting who we are and how we might
choose to live. ‘Thrilling, intelligent and wilfully unique … I
loved it’ James Runcie, author of The Great Passion ‘Ruminative
… page-turning’ TLS ‘Fascinating … An eminently enjoyable
and engrossing page-turner’ The Jewish Chronicle
