Conventional Lies Of Our Civilization (1896)

""Conventional Lies of Our Civilization"" is a book written by Max Nordau in 1896. It is a critical analysis of the societal norms and values prevalent in the late 19th century. Nordau argues that these conventional beliefs are based on falsehoods and are detrimental to the progress of humanity. He examines various aspects of society, including religion, politics, art, and science, and exposes the hypocrisy and contradictions inherent in each of them. Nordau's writing is sharp and incisive, and he uses a wide range of examples to illustrate his points. The book was considered controversial at the time of its publication, and it continues to be a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
