From the Publisher
Theodore Zeldin changes the way we communicate
"Theodore Zeldin is a glimmer of light in a dark, dark world" wrote Virginia Blackburn in The Express. Zeldin believes that we must create a new means of communication through real conversation. This book suggests that we look at how we communicate in all areas of our life in order to really talk to each other. He is a "passionate seeker of truth" and "a polymath without arrogance" (Gillian Glover, The Scotsman)and Conversation is "a brilliant treatise on why and how we talk to each other" (Caroline Gascoigne, The Times). Zeldin has led conversation groups to put across his ideas. Read this book if you want to think about how you speak.
