The Ancient Greek philosopher Herakleitos wasn't called for no reason. Allegedly Socrates himself read the manuscript and said you'd need to be a professional pearl diver to get to the bottom of it. And had the whole book and spoke the same language as Herakleitos, something you can 100% rely on happening these days. Evidently that's not stopped anybody from making the attempt, however - even if they don't all end up clutching their pearls. That's where Alan Loney comes in. What he has done in this book is to attend, in an utterly unique fashion, to the of this situation from the pure position of a poet and a printer. As Ted Jenner puts it: The results that Loney achieves are literally incredible: what is it that we know of Herakleitos other than misrepresentation, hearsay, and fantasm? Until you've read this book, we can almost guarantee that you really have no idea.
