Book synopsis

The author aims to show how the purpose of language, which is to communicate and illuminate, has been perverted to show-off, give false assurance and over-simplify. He draws examples of misuse by writers, some of them major figures such, as Eliot and Kant, on literature, religion and philosophy.
