Upcoming book release - Philosophical Fragments

Prof Giorgio Baruchello has recently completed five volumes of literary-philosophical works for Canada’s Northwest Passage Books. The publisher will release them over the period 2025-2027. All volumes in this original book series are subtitled Philosophical Fragments, and they comprise more than a hundred texts of, primarily, a comical nature: Comedies, short stories, satires, novellas, etc. Whilst the chosen stylistic medium is, for the most part, farcical, the theoretical, socio-political, and psychological contents are more sober, since they address the complex relationship between humour and cruelty in the world which we happen to inhabit and suffer. The unique covers for the five volumes will boast original artworks by noted international photographers: Armando Gallo, Alberto Terrile, Agata Wilczyńska, and Veronika Korchak.

Books paying it forward
