Under The Net - Thryft

Philosophical quest in postwar London's eccentric circles.

Iris Murdoch's "Under the Net" might intrigue you if you're drawn to stories of personal growth set against a backdrop of vibrant city life. Following the affable yet aimless protagonist Jake, the novel weaves wit with the depth of existential thought. Its compelling take on the challenges of communication and connection invites introspection, all while guiding you through the colorful world of mid-20th-century London.

Description

Iris Murdoch's first novel is set in a part of London where struggling writers rub shoulders with successful bookies, and film starlets with frantic philosophers. Its hero, Jake Donaghue, is a drifting, clever, likeable young man who makes a living out of translation work and sponging on his friends. A meeting with Anna, an old flame, leads him into a series of fantastic adventures. Jake is captivated by a majestic philosopher, Hugo Belfounder, whose profound and inconclusive reflections give the book its title - under the net of language.
