From the Blurb

"MAN AND TIME marks the culmination of J. B. Priestley's lifelong interest in a riddle that has for centuries plagued great thinkers and ordinary men alike - the riddle of Time. Priestley has cast this major work into the form of a personal essay, for, as he says in his Introduction, any full examination of the nature of Time must be 'deeply subjective, belonging to one man's inner world of thoughts, feelings, intuitive ideas...' A key thesis of this personal essay is that the broad concept of Time, and our experience of time, includes much more than the kind of time measured by clocks."
