Infernal Conference Or, Dialogues of Devils on the Many Vices Which Abound, Vol
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a work of philosophical satire, delves into the darker side of human nature, offering a provocative critique of societal hierarchies, religious hypocrisy, and the pursuit of worldly wealth and status. The author uses a unique and humorous framing device, imagining a dialogue among a group of devils, who are portrayed as shrewd observers of the human condition. Through their conversations, the devils dissect and expose the vices and foibles of various social groups, from the nobility to the clergy to the common people. The book's central theme is the corrupting influence of power and ambition, as seen through the lens of a society obsessed with appearances, wealth, and status. The devils expose the superficiality of these pursuits, arguing that true honor lies not in titles and possessions, but in character and moral integrity. The book also critiques the hypocrisy of religious institutions, emphasizing the ways in which religious leaders exploit the faith of the populace for personal gain. The author's satirical approach to these themes is both witty and thought-provoking. The book offers a sharp and incisive commentary on the human condition, challenging readers to examine their own values and motivations. It is a powerful reminder that true virtue can be found not in external appearances, but in the inner life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331731689_0
