| Shrnutí: | ""Perhaps not all the stories that follow are true. They could, however, be true, and the Reader is invited to ponder this.""So begins Insurmountable Simplicities, Roberto Casati and Achille Varzi's colorful incarnation of the many philosophical conundrums that hide in the wrinkles of everyday life.
