Product Description
Product Description
"The protagonist of this mild satire - is a human brain floating in an aquarium - The bodiless Ypsilon, expected to be an unemotional intellect, feels lonely. Beause he is lovesick over a pretty lab assistant, Ypsilon chooses not to respond to elaborate educational regiments - With the aid of a chimpanzee and a detached human hand, he makes detailed plans for an impractical escape - Amusing and phantasmagoric." - Publishers Weekly. "Thanks to [Lesser], Ypsilon has become as convincing and many-facetted to the English-speaking audience as he is to his Swedish readers, and the ethical and wider human problems posed by his situation have become just as urgent." - Swedish Book Review.

Great book, Jan 24 2007
By LaDyBug - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Living Soul (Paperback)
I read both the original (Swedish) and English translations. The book is compelling and thought provoking. At the same time the English translation manages to be a light and easy read. All will enjoy this book, from the sci-fi reader to the existentialist to the causal "I just read the latest New York Times best seller" reader. There is something here for everyone.

An extended short story, but well worth reading, Nov 8 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Living Soul (Paperback)
A unique novel (as far as I know), concerning the "life" of Epsilon, a brain saved from a dead person sustained in an experimental tank - all written in the first "person".It goes on bit, but if you like books which make you a bit uneasy and make you think, read this one.
