More about the book

Set against the backdrop of post-World War I Europe, the book examines the intriguing choice of four prominent poets and thinkers—W. B. Yeats, Robinson Jeffers, R. M. Rilke, and C. G. Jung—to inhabit towers. It delves into the cultural significance of these retreats, exploring their biographical motivations and the symbolic meanings associated with towers throughout history, including themes of spirituality, intellect, sexuality, and isolation. The narrative weaves a rich tapestry connecting ancient ziggurats to modern intellectual sanctuaries.
