Beyond Good and Evil |
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) |
Nietzsche soars in philosophic thought in Beyond Good and Evil. He transcended most of his 19th century contemporaries and considered the bulk of their philosophic thinking to be greatly limited by their acceptance of Christian premises. Denying a universal morality for all people, Nietzsche instead proposed that the individual's "will to power" upon the world was the means to move beyond good and evil. Agree? Disagree? Agree to disagree? Brilliantly thought provoking. |

The Virginian |
Owen Wister (1860 - 1938) |
Publishers Weekly #1 Best Seller for 1902.
This novel was the grandfather of the Western genre and follows a natural gentleman as he is entangled with
the new Wyoming state's 1890s Johnson County War - the ugly side of the consolidation of The American West.
A cabal of large vested interests and a diffuse collection of small players fight for control of access rights to publicly owned common range land.
Rhetoric and actions escalate and culminated in some nasty lynchings, the use of a gang of hired Texan killers (with the tacit approval of the state Governor),
the murder of a small rancher, the siege of the Texans by a posse of 200, and their eventual rescue by the U.S. sixth cavalry at the orders of the president.

Crime and Punishment |
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881) |
Raskolnikov is a desperately impoverished young student and intellectual who robs and murders a moneylender to ease his own financial problems and, he rationalises, to better the world by expelling it of her evil doings. However, after he falls ill, he is eventually burdened by his past actions and seeks salvation. Was it justifiable homicide? Captivating and often disturbing, this novel explores this and other profound life concepts. Crime and Punishment is considered to be the one of the most influential Russian novels ever written. Read it and see why. |
