In 'Under the Net', Iris Murdoch introduces us to Jake Donaghue, a young translator and sponger who reconnects with Anna, a former love, triggering a series of adventures. The novel explores Jake's fascination with the philosopher Hugo Belfounder and his reflections on language. Set in a London where writers and philosophers rub shoulders with show business characters, this work is a gem of contemporary literature.
