Books, Classic, Fictions, PhilosphyBeyond Good and Evil,(Reading Classic): Writer: Friedrich Nietzsche
About the Author
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and a cultural critic. He was born on October 15, 1844, in Rocken, Saxony, Kingdom of Prussia. His works criticize the traditional European morality, religious values as well as conventional philosophical ideas associated with modernity. He is often seen as a predecessor to late modern thinkers like Marx and Freud, because of his psychological analyses of false consciousness. He proposed many original theories positing an alternative morality and ideas which would bring forth a cultural renewal. His notable works include The Birth of Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music (1872), The Gay Science (1882), Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883–5), Beyond Good and Evil (1886), On the Genealogy of Morality (1887), Twilight of the Idols (1888) and The Wagner Case (1888). In 1889, Nietzsche suffered a mental breakdown. Eleven years later, he died on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, German Empire.

Civilization and Its Discontents ,(Reading Classic): Writer: Sigmund Freud
About the Author
Sigmund Freud was born on 6 May 1856, in Freiberg (now Pribor in the present-day Czech Republic) in the Austrian Empire. Celebrated as the pioneering neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis, he stands as one of the most influential figures in the history of psychology. Freud’s revolutionary ideas transformed our understanding of human mind and behavior. His ground-breaking theories, including the concept of the unconscious mind, the Oedipus complex and the role of dreams, reshaped the landscape of psychological thought. Beyond the clinical realm, his work extends into cultural and social analyses leaving an indelible mark on disciplines ranging from psychiatry to literature. Having fled Austria following the Nazi occupation, Freud spent the last year of his life in London, England, where he died of cancer on 23 September 1939.

The Conquest Of Happiness,Writer : Bertrand Russell
About the Author
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) was a British mathematician, logician, philosopher, and historian. He started his writing career in 1896. In 1910, he discovered and resolved Russell’s Paradox in mathematics. He popularised philosophy by delivering many lectures and broadcasts on BBC. His published works span over 100 books on analytical philosophy, history, and mathematics.
He was one of the leading opponents of World War I, Israel’s aggression against the Middle East, and the United States’ genocide in Vietnam. He also made a cameo appearance in an Indian anti-war feature film Aman. Because of his commitment to nonviolence, he faced many troubles: a six-month imprisonment for publicly lecturing against the United States’ interference in the affairs of the United Kingdom, a fine for publishing an anti-war pamphlet, and his dismissal from Trinity College.
Initially, Russell was in favour of socialism but after his visit to the Soviet Union and meeting with Vladimir Lenin, he returned unimpressed and expressed his opposition to the utilitarian and anti-aesthetic stance of Bolshevism. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950 for championing humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought. Russell had an agile mind and his insights into world problems will be remembered for centuries to come. In the prologue to his autobiography, he summed up the passions that drove him thus: ‘the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.’ He stayed politically active till the end of his life.SKU: 17945 -
