Essential Schopenhauer (U.Books)

In these essays, Schopenhauer reflects on how and why faces reveal so much of character, on style in literature, on the nature of genius, on suicide and women, and on human nature in general. The selection ends with some shrewd Stratagems for use in the far-from-gentle Art of Controversy. Behind all that he writes is the force of his wide learning and the detached spirit with which he accepts life.
