Sinopse

In "Pictures of German Life in the 18th and 19th Centuries," Gustav Freytag offers a comprehensive exploration of the social, cultural, and economic fabric of Germany during a transformative period. This two-volume work employs a rich literary style that blends vivid narrative with keen observation, allowing readers to visualize the intricate lifestyles and customs of various German communities. Freytag's meticulous attention to detail reflects an era marked by significant change, including the impact of industrialization and the rise of nationalism, making this text both a historical document and a literary representation of German identity in the given centuries. Gustav Freytag, a notable 19th-century German novelist and playwright, drew on his own experiences and the cultural milieu of his time to produce this seminal work. His background as a sociologist and interest in the interplay between society and literature significantly informed his writing. Freytag's insights into mid-19th-century German life were shaped by his exposure to the Romantic movement and his desire to portray the complexities of his country's evolving landscape, presenting a reflective yet critical perspective. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in German literature and history, as it provides an indispensable context for understanding the socio-cultural landscape of the 18th and 19th centuries. Freytag's poignant illustrations of life during this period invite readers to immerse themselves in the past, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical novel written by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, first published in 1883. The book is divided into four parts and tells the story of a fictional character named Zarathustra, who is on a journey to share his philosophy with the people. 
    The book is often considered Nietzsche's masterpiece and explores themes such as the death of God, the will to power, and the Übermensch (or superman). Through Zarathustra's journey, Nietzsche presents his ideas on morality, religion, and the nature of humanity. 
    The character of Zarathustra is inspired by the historical figure of Zarathustra, who founded the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism. However, Nietzsche's Zarathustra is not a religious prophet but a philosopher who seeks to share his wisdom with humanity. 
    The style of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is highly poetic and symbolic, often using metaphorical language to express complex philosophical ideas. The book has been highly influential in modern philosophy, literature, and art, and its impact can be seen in the works of many later thinkers, such as Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.

    An entertaining and enlightening anthology of classical Greek and Roman writings on animals—and our vital relationships with them 
     
     
     
    How to Care about Animals is a fascinating menagerie of passages from classical literature about animals and the lives we share with them. Drawing on ancient writers from Aesop to Ovid, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher has gathered a healthy litter of selections that reveal some of the ways Greeks and Romans thought about everything from lions, bears, and wolves to birds, octopuses, and snails—and that might inspire us to rethink our own relationships with our fellow creatures. Presented in lively new translations, these pieces are filled with surprises—anticipating but also offering new perspectives on many of our current feelings and ideas about animals. 
     
     
     
    Here, Porphyry makes a compelling argument for vegetarianism and asserts that the just treatment of animals makes us better people; Pliny the Elder praises the virtuosity of songbirds and the virtuousness of elephants; Plutarch has one of Circe's pigs from the Odyssey make a serio-comic case for the dignity of the beasts of the field; Aristotle puts the study of animals on par with anthropology; we hear timeless Aesopian fables, including "The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg" and "The Fox and the Grapes"; and there is much, much more.

    What do ideas look like? This clairvoyant view of the shape, color, and atmospheric effect of mental energy includes black-and-white drawings and color plates to convey a graphic representation of the power of thought. 
    Prominent Theosophists Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater were pioneers in asserting that thoughts are, indeed, things. Originally released in 1901, Thought-Forms is a seminal work on what thoughts “look” like. It had an impact far beyond the circle of its primary readers and greatly influenced leading artists such as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky. 
    Simple in style and clearly written, Thought-Forms is a classic of the theosophical tradition that has as much to say in our own day as it did a century ago. It lucidly sets forth a way to conceive of the invisible realms within and around us, with implications both for how we view the world and how we act in it. 
    Discussion includes the meaning of color, thought forms built by music, and the nature of helpful thoughts. Based on the authors’ clairvoyant vision, its illustrations suggest the form thoughts take in relation, for instance, to anger, fear, intellect, sympathy, devotion, and a meditative state. Annie Besant herself describes the book’s purpose as being to “serve as a striking moral lesson to every reader, making him realize the nature and power of his thoughts, acting as a stimulus to the noble and a curb to the base. With this belief and hope we send it on its way”.
