The Missing Shade of Blue: A Philosophical Adventure

A surprising philosophical novel. A touching, intelligent, and witty portrait of the relentless modern human condition. Traveling to Edinburgh for work, Frenchman Edgar Logan anticipates a season of enlightenment and tranquility. Already in Scotland, Edgar meets Harry Sanderson and his captivating wife, the artist Carrie. From that moment on, his meticulous life is thrown into turmoil, and the trip, intended as a strictly professional one, takes on a dramatic tone Edgar had never been accustomed to—in fact, had always avoided. Drawn into the Sandersons' troubled marriage, Edgar must confront his deepest fears and his growing interest in the charming Carrie. The more he uncovers this family's many secrets, the more the trip takes on the air of a thriller. Edgar is no longer the same man: the turmoil (from which he knows neither when nor how he will emerge) has already left indelible marks on him. Especially on him, who seems to want to pass through life without leaving a signature. • Inspired by the work of Enlightenment giant David Hume, The Missing Shade of Blue: A Philosophical Adventure makes references to Socrates, Sartre, Freud, Piaget and Tolstoy, among many other renowned figures.
