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. |

| A Doll's House |
| Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906) |
Written in 1879, A Doll's House is scathingly critical of the traditional gender roles in marriage in those times. In the story, a stifled Nora learns that her husband is not actually the noble person she imagined and decides to leave him, her children and her "Doll House". Shocking to readers when first published. Critically acclaimed still. |

| The Idiot |
| Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881) |
Prince Myshkin is a simple and inherently good person but his naivety earns him the title of "idiot". Captivated by Nastasya, he ends up in a web of deceit, blackmail, betrayal and ultimately, murder. In this novel, Dostoyevsky wishes to portray a truly good person, one with beauty within his soul, untouched by the ways of the world. But can he remain untouched or does he ultimately find himself a victim of society? |
