Sinossi

In "The Story of Atlantis," William Scott-Elliot weaves a compelling narrative that seeks to blend myth with scholarly inquiry, offering readers a detailed account of the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis. Scott-Elliot employs a vivid and engaging literary style, skillfully intertwining elements of fiction and philosophy to reimagine Plato's original accounts. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the book echoes the era's fascination with ancient myths and the occult, as well as the burgeoning interest in historical linguistics and archaeology, thus contributing a unique interpretation to the Atlantis narrative while inviting readers to ponder themes of utopia, human folly, and spiritual evolution. William Scott-Elliot, a British author deeply immersed in theosophy and spiritualism, was significantly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time. His keen interest in ancient civilizations and mystical traditions shaped his exploration of Atlantis, positing it as not merely a myth but a potent symbol of lost wisdom and idealism. Scott-Elliot's background in philosophy and mythology informs his careful crafting of a narrative that reveals both the splendor and the tragic decline of this fabled society, offering insights that resonate well beyond the confines of his time. "The Story of Atlantis" is a must-read for anyone captivated by ancient myths, historical mysteries, or the philosophical questions surrounding civilization and its discontents. Scott-Elliot's imaginative retelling invites readers to embark on a wondrous journey through time, challenging them to reflect upon the implications of humanity's quest for perfection amid the inevitable tides of history.

On the Genealogy of Morals

Friedrich Nietzsche

The sight of suffering does one good, the infliction of suffering does one more good - this is a hard maxim, but none the less a fundamental maxim, old, powerful, and "human, all-too-human".
 
In this daring and insightful work, Nietzsche lays bare the hypocrisies at the foundations of our ideas of morality. Considering ideas of good and evil, guilt and conscience, and law and violence along the way, On the Genealogy of Morals takes the reader on a journey through the history of value systems in three masterful essays.
 
His insights are sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative, but always demonstrate the workings of an exceptional mind. Together, this collection of essays makes up one of the most powerful works of modern philosophy that seeks to do nothing less than unravel the mysteries of human nature.
