The Philosophy of Nietzsche - Enriched edition

H. L. Mencken

Summary

In H. L. Mencken's book 'The Philosophy of Nietzsche', readers are given a comprehensive analysis of the influential philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas on topics such as existentialism, morality, and the concept of the Ubermensch. Mencken delves into Nietzsche's critiques of traditional Christian values and his advocacy for the individual's pursuit of personal excellence. The book is written in a scholarly yet accessible style, making it a valuable resource for both students of philosophy and general readers interested in Nietzsche's thought within the context of early 20th century philosophy. H. L. Mencken, a renowned journalist and cultural critic of his time, was known for his sharp wit and independent thinking. His interest in Nietzsche's philosophy likely stemmed from his own skepticism towards conventional wisdom and authority. Mencken brings his unique perspective to the examination of Nietzsche's work, shedding new light on the philosopher's controversial ideas. I highly recommend 'The Philosophy of Nietzsche' to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy and its relevance in today's world. Mencken's insightful analysis and engaging writing style make this book a must-read for anyone interested in existentialism and the pursuit of personal freedom.

Thelma & Louise

Susan Kollin

Thelma & Louise, the 1991 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, has been described as a road movie, a buddy movie, a feminist parable, and only incidentally as a Western. An Oscar winner for first-time screenwriter Callie Khouri, Thelma & Louise catalyzed a national conversation about women, violence, and self-determination in a Hollywood still shrugging off the West of John Wayne and in an America that still viewed women as accessories to the national mythology. 
 
 
 
In this latest volume in the Reel West series, Susan Kollin recreates this watershed moment for women's movies in general and women's Westerns in particular.

From the cover: "His mother had to make a quick decision that no parent would ever want to make. Which of her children had the best chance to survive this calamity? Her son. Anschel, was the oldest and strongest. The two girls had to stay with her no matter what was coming."
