Description
|
|
|
|
Not simply an investigation into melancholy, these unique essays form part of a panoramic celebration of human behavior from the time of the ancients to the Renaissance, penned by an early 17th-century English scholar and Oxford University vicar. God, devils, old age, diet, drunkenness, love, and beauty are each given equal consideration in this broad examination of the human condition. This book is part of a series of compact paperback editions unearthing potent books of ideas from the world's great thinkers, pioneers, radicals, and visionaries—books that have transformed the way we see each other and ourselves.
