About The Author	Emily Herring is a writer based in Paris. She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne and received her PhD in the history and philosophy of science from the University of Leeds. Her work has appeared in the TLS and Aeon.
	From perfumed ladies to the end-of-life mud baths, this beautifully written book tells the story of a seemingly unassuming, bowler-hatted Frenchman, whose philosophy would sweep the world. Its profound ideas – evolution, consciousness, time – are explored with depth and humour in a way that is, appropriately, creative and new. Herring has captured the magic and the mystique of Bergson
Other text	Herald of a Restless World takes major events in French philosopher Henri Bergson's life and his key ideas as starting points to explore important, interesting, and often little-known aspects of 20th-century culture.
