Slavoj Zizek, the maverick philosopher, author of over 30 books, acclaimed as the 'Elvis of cultural theory,' and today&rsquo;s most controversial public intellectual. His work traverses the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, theology, history and political theory, taking in film, popular culture, literature and jokes &mdash; all to provide acute analyses of the complexities of contemporary ideology as well as a serious and sophisticated philosophy. His recent films <em>The Pervert&rsquo;s Guide to the Cinema</em> and <em>Zizek!</em> reveal a theorist at the peak of his powers and a skilled communicator. Now Verso are making these four classic titles, that stand as the core of his ever-expanding life&rsquo;s work, available as new editions. Each is beautifully repackaged, including new introductions from Zizek himself. Simply put, they are the essential texts for understanding Zizek&rsquo;s thought and thus cornerstones of contemporary philosophy.
