Recenzii
When I Die is Philip Gould's account of his long, painful but ultimately optimistic journey towards death, during which time he realised something that he had never heard articulated before: death need not be only negative or painful, it can be life-affirming and revelatory. A book about life far more than death, this is a unique work from a man who was loved and revered during a lifetime of extraordinary achievement. Written during his last months, When I Die is as courageous, valuable and uplifting a legacy to the world as anyone could wish to bestow.
'This profoundly moving and inspirational book not only recounts his experiences but also seeks to make sense of terminal disease and dying' Leyla Sanai, Independent
'The book's power comes from the urgency and simplicity of his message, and is given depth by his family's perspective on his death. At a time when so few of us know how to face the inevitability of our own extinction, Gould has provided an admirable model' Jenni Russell, Sunday Times
'Gould bears witness to the way that death from cancer frightens us, and he strengthens us by describing his own fears and the way he overcame them' Richard Holloway, The Times
"In the old days, they used to say the dead always send a gift back as they leave us, so we should watch out for it. That is what happened here." "--Times", Book of the Week
