The letters represent a coruscating attack on our present society, as well as offering insights into how the situation might be improved. \u003cbr\u003eBond's letters attack modern education, arguing that \"children are being educated to sell themselves\" and suggesting that social problems are caused by an oppression of the imagination. \u003cbr\u003eMany letters refer directly to a play - for instance \u003cem\u003eTuesday\u003c\/em\u003e, which presents an assessment of the many difficulties faced by contemporary society. The language and imagery of one of Bond's most recent plays, In the Company of Men, is animatedly discussed, and Bond reminds us in a final description that \"the good image is always absent, because it is present in the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236984901976,"sku":"9789057550317","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789057550317_7b62921c-9f1c-4f29-b577-db1f25281536.jpg?v=1779172256","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/edward-bond-letters-4","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
