Place reservation for The cultural tutor : forty-nine lessons you wish you'd learned at schoolWho does the Mona Lisa actually depict? Why do we still look to the Greeks and Romans to inform our politics? Where do we find meaning in a world dominated by technology? Culture is like a language. Art, architecture, history and philosophy are its grammar. And, like a language, anyone can learn it. In 2022, Sheehan Quirke took to Twitter (now X) as The Cultural Tutor with the aim of making culture accessible for everyone. He wrote about poetry, paintings, building design, and counter-intuitive but fascinating facts about history and geography. Taught in forty-nine short lessons - from Babylon to Brutalism, Ronaldo to Ragnark - Sheehan takes readers on a delightful and fascinating journey through culture.
