An alternate/corrected cover edition exists here.

This elegantly written account of a young man's search for signs of purpose in the universe is one of the great existential texts of the postwar era and is really funny besides. Binx Bolling, inveterate cinemaphile, contemplative rake and man of the periphery, tries hedonism and tries doing the right thing, but ultimately finds redemption (or at least the prospect of it) by taking a leap of faith and quite literally embracing what only seems irrational.

Aici exista o editie de coperta alternativa / corectata. Aceasta relatare scrisa elegant despre cautarea de catre un tanar a semnelor de scop in univers este unul dintre marile texte existentiale din perioada postbelica si este cu adevarat amuzant. Binx Bolling, cinemafil inveterat, grebla contemplativa si om de la periferie, incearca hedonismul si incearca sa faca ceea ce trebuie, dar in cele din urma gaseste rascumpararea (sau cel putin perspectiva), facand un salt de credinta si imbratisand literalmente ceea ce pare doar irational .
