Really beautiful work. I read it when I was quite young and into religions. Loved it for sure. I hope to read it again.
This translation is based on Nazmul Quran, an approach to understand the Quran by its Arrangement developed by Imam Hamidudin Farahi (r.a) and that makes it different from all available translations. I loved it.
One of my students who belonged to Hinduism gifted it to me. I really loved it. Krishna's advice to Arjun is full of wisdom. Importance of Karma, what you do defines you and sincerity with the job. It makes one rethink all ethical dimensions. A wonderful work.
One of the finest sources on Dialectical Materialism. I loved the diction and overall writing style. Often people are really misinformed, I have seen really well educated people, even some so-called Marxists reducing dialectics to only triads of thesis antithesis and synthesis. I wish only more people would read it and get informed and know how misinformation is so common and why we should at all costs avoid the fallacy of appeal to authority.
One of my favourite books of all time. I even did my thesis on it. I would highly suggest it to anyone. Though negated by modern sciences and psychology you will be amazed how much of social Darwinism still lurks in today's “common sense” as manufactured by ones in control. Usually the arguments that are quite famous and repeated often to support capitalism and fascism still unconsciously arise from long negated but not yet dead social Darwinism. This work is the only complete response and scientific negation of social Darwinism. Social Darwinism in the past has been a weapon of fascists, totalitarians (tankies), and capitalists alike to support their arguments. You will be amazed how many common arguments in favour of racism, colonization, patriarchy and the mindset of such poisonous nature are production of social Darwinism. Kropotkin was amazing! I love all of his writings.
Poe has always been an inspiration for me. I love the gothic scenes and strange mixture of misery, glee and gloom in his verses. He has most certainly always been one of my favourite poets.
I taught it in class and my students loved it. It presents a different view on life and society. The theory of Superman and going beyond good and evil to proceed forward in human evolution.
The text is in form of sermons that Zarathustra delivers which makes it look like a religious book and that is so clever of Nietzsche how he uses the character of Prophet Zarathustra -who introduced ethics in ancient times- to go beyond good and evil.
Loved it. It depicts place of a woman in a patriarchal society. Her exploitation by men and defame. It' s always the case that women are hated and taken more liable to punishments of society while men for same ethical crimes are held as ideal.
Surely my favourite poet. Have always loved his lines and the sweet blend of pain for love and liberty. He has been an inspiration.
The first romantic tragedy I read when I was in 7th standard. I have always loved every single verse from this play and I had remembered them by heart as a boy.
I read it when I was quite young and interested in necromancy. One of the finest works on witchcraft. Highly recommend if you are into exploring different schools of thoughts and religions.
When I was young, in my school days, I was into religions. I wanted to read about spiritism but at that time all books I could find were in Portuguese. So, I added a Brazilian woman as a friend and asked her for help one day. She sent me almost 16 books in English and this was one of them. It was the happiest day of my life as I remember. During summer vacations I sat in front of my pc and completed most of them in two months. I would read them for hours and hours. I had a fascination with reading religions. This book brings back those nostalgic memories and subsequent happiness back again. Loved it then and hope to read it again. Kardec was amazing.
Loved the poem and it was fun teaching. The allegory and allusions were quite fantastic and forced me to journey through Greek, Roman, and Biblical mythologies.
Life is misery and acceptance of this fact is the only way to make it less of a misery. Pessimism is wisdom and the only way out. Emil Cioran has always been a source of philosophical wisdom. His pessimism makes you strong.
Loved every poem to bits. Still keep reading it almost every night before going to bed. All poems are pregnant with revolutionary and romantic ideals.
