First Private Equity Funding of Non-Fiction Book
The Complete Kant. Madrid, Spain (PRWEB) October 2, 2008 -- In what is believed to be first deal of its kind, a private equity company is financing the writing of a non-fiction book.
The Complete Kant will be the story of Cathal Morrow's year without lying and his search for truth. The European-based Thaler Fund is financing the project and will receive a share of all associated revenues.
Thaler Fund founder Edward Fitzpatrick explained: "Cathal sent me the first chapter of The Complete Kant and I found it funny, touching and intelligently written. The Thaler Fund is always looking for innovative investments, and I think The Complete Kant has incredible potential, not just as a book, but across a number of other media as well."
The Thaler Fund is a European-based fund for high net worth individuals, private banks and pension funds. Current Thaler Fund investments also include media, technology and luxury goods companies.
The Complete Kant uses Immanuel Kant's assertion that lying is always morally wrong as its starting point, and is both a personal journey and an investigation into the philosophy of truth.
The first chapter can be viewed at www.thecompletekant.com.
At the request of Cathal Morrow the deal has been struck without written contracts. Cathal explains: "My book is about honesty and truth. I trust the Thaler Fund team, and they trust me. We have established the details of our relationship so a verbal agreement is enough," he said.
