Coles A Taste for Infinity: An Apprenticeship at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
At twenty-four, Theodore is introduced to an 89-year- old Henry Manor — diplomat, mathematician, philosopher, and one of the most formidable minds of his generation. What began as a brief meeting became something neither of them had anticipated: a two-year apprenticeship that would change Theodore’s life irrevocably.
A Taste for Infinity is the memoir of an unlikely friendship. It follows Theodore as he organizes Manor’s vast library, co-authors a book with him, and sits beside him through the long afternoons of his final years — learning, through conversation and silence alike, what it means to live with curiosity and purpose.
In the tradition of Eckermann’s Conversations with Goethe and Bulgakov’s The Last Year of Leo Tolstoy, this is a rare and intimate portrait of a great mind at the end of his life — and of a young man coming of age in a contemporary apprenticeship.
