The average man can act morally without first working out a clear picture of the future. It is enough that he has been trained to the habit of respecting current precepts, and of accepting the views obtaining in his circle as to what is good or bad, what is admissible or inadmissible. This morality, of course, is merely a matter of drill or training; it is unthinking automatism; it is inferior, and not to be compared with the living, creative morality of higher natures, which, as a sovereign law-giver, comes to an independent decision in every case and, like the guardian angel of childlike faith, guides man on his path through life, indicates the right course at the cross-roads, and warns him of pitfalls and stumbling-blocks. But for everyday use mechanical morality may suffice. In the uneventful existence of the average man, which passes in a stereotyped way, this mechanical morality is an acceptable guide and counsellor, but it remains an outside influence foreign to his inner consciousness; he is glad to deceive and outwit it, as a slave does his master's bailiff if he can do so without running the risk of a thrashing; but if his destiny unexpectedly rises above its accustomed dead level, then this dogmatic morality, which he has never really assimilated, leaves him in the lurch, and mournfully, in piteous tones, he utters the well-known cry, "It is easy to do one's duty; it is difficult to know where one's duty lies."

The Malady of the Century is a book written by Max Nordau, a Hungarian physician and writer, in 1895. The book is a critique of the cultural and intellectual trends of the late 19th century, which Nordau believed were leading to a decline in Western civilization. Nordau argues that the rise of individualism, materialism, and skepticism in art, literature, and philosophy were symptoms of a larger malady that he called ""degeneration."" Nordau believed that degeneration was a physical and mental disease that affected individuals and society as a whole. He argued that degenerates were characterized by a lack of self-control, a tendency towards violence and criminal behavior, and a disregard for social norms and values. Nordau saw degeneration as a threat to the stability and progress of Western civilization, and he called for a return to traditional values and social order. The book was controversial when it was first published and sparked a debate about the nature of degeneration and its causes. Some critics accused Nordau of being overly pessimistic and reactionary, while others praised his insights into the cultural and social trends of the time. Today, The Malady of the Century is considered a classic work of cultural criticism and a valuable historical document of the late 19th century.""I am telling you the penalty of property. You must be just in everything. Granted that the rich man is a criminal; granted his idleness is an offense to your activity; granted that his roast meat and wine make your potatoes taste insipid; it is in the order of things that you should envy him. But what comes out of this envy? Let us admit that you could carry through anything you undertook. The rich man would be plundered and even killed, and his treasures divided between you.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Die mondklare, sternhelle Juninacht begann auch dem rastlosen Paris ihre Zauberstille anzuschmeicheln. Die eater waren seit einer Stunde geschlossen und der Strom ihrer Besucher in die Häuser versickert. Die hohen Mauern der verödeten Straßen hallten seltsam wider, wenn zwischen ihnen eine seltene Nachtdroschke entlangrumpelte. Rudolf Korte hae den Abend in einem Boulevardtheater verbracht, nach der Vorstellung noch auf der Terrasse eines Bierhauses eine Weile gesessen, um das allmähliche Abklingen und Ersterben des Weltstadtgetöses in seinen erregten Nerven genießend mitzuerleben, und dann den Heimweg durch das Hallenviertel genommen, das auch in der Nacht rege ist. Nun stand er wieder in wunderlicher Einsamkeit an der Steinbrüstung des Pont neuf und nahm das unvergleichliche Bild in Whistlerscher Manier, Silber und Dunkelblau, in sich auf. Der in breiten erlinien glitzernde Strom, der sich in der Ferne durch eine Rechtswendung dem verfolgenden Blick entzog, war vom roten Licht der Brückenlampen und dem Widerschein der Gasflammenzeilen beider Ufer feurig punktiert. Notre Dame zeichnete in den von einer geheimnisvollen Helligkeit überhauchten Himmel ihren ausdrucksvollen Umriß ein. In unabsehbarer Folge schaeten Türme, Kuppeln und Dachfirste auf den sternflimmernden silbern lasierten Grund hin. Es war eine andere Schönheit, als sie das Paris des Tages zeigt, eine Schönheit der Ruhe und des Friedens, die sich in feierlichen Architekturlinien ausdrückt und von der Rudolf Korte den entzückten Blick nicht loslösen konnte.

Dieses Buch erhebt den Anspruch, die Anschauungen der meisten auf der Höhe der zeitgenössischen Bildung stehenden Menschen getreu wiederzugeben. Es sind gewiß Millionen Angehörige der Kulturvölker durch eigenes Nachdenken dahin gelangt, an den bestehenden staatlichen und gesellschalichen Einrichtungen genau dieselbe Kritik zu üben, die in den nachfolgenden Bläern enthalten ist, und die hier ausgesprochene Ansicht zu theilen, daß diese Einrichtungen unvernünig, der naturwissenscha lichen Weltanschauung widersprechend und darum unhaltbar sind. Trotzdem kann es nicht ausbleiben, daß man beim Lesen dieses Buches die Augen verdrehen und die Hände über dem Kopfe zusammenschlagen wird, und wohl nicht am wenigsten eifrig Mancher, der darin seine eigenen geheimsten Meinungen ausgedrückt findet. Das ist es eben, weshalb der Verfasser geglaubt hat, es sei nothwendig, es sei unerläßlich, dieses Buch zu schreiben. Die schwere Krankheit der Zeit ist die Feigheit.

"An dem flachen Ufer des Tursaflusses, dessen graugrüne Wellen langsam zum heiligen Brahmaputra fließen, stand auf dem schwachen Bodenrücken, der das Riedgelände scharf von den Weizenäckern scheidet, die Hüe Dasas und seiner jungen Gain Udschli. Dasa war ein Rayat[in englischer Schreibung Ryot, indischer Landwirt] von guter Kaste und in der Dorfscha angesehen.Udschli galt ür das schönste Weib der Gegend. Sie trug ihren Namen Udschli bedeutet auf Hindustanisch die Weiße mit Recht. Sie war von auffallend heller Haut, deren warme Tönung nur schwach ins Gelbe hinüberspielte, wie die äußeren Bläer einer Teerose. Ihr schweres schlichtes Haar, schwarz und glänzend wie gegläeter Gagat, fein wie Seide und duend wie Zimt, war nach der Landesart gescheitelt und mit Korallen- und Schmelzperlensträhnen durchflochten. Ein silbernes Geschmeide, mit vier kleinen Türkisen besetzt, hing in die glae Stirn und ließ sie bernsteinfarben erscheinen. Ihre großen Mandelaugen mit dem kleinen dunkeln Stern im bläulich schimmernden Apfel blickten still und san¿ unter dem Schaen der sehr langen aufgekrümmten Wimpern. Den linken Flügel des wundervoll fein modellierten Näschens schmückte ein Silberplächen. Der edle Mund bezauberte mit seinen frischen tiefroten Lippen, hinter denen beim Sprechen und Lächeln die schönsten Zähne aulitzten. Wenn die Nachbarinnen sie in ihrem rosa und weiß gestreien Baumwollkleide, die Büste von einem Seidennetz modelliert, die silbernen Fußringe bei jedem Schrie leise erklirrend, durch die Dorfstraße dahinschreiten sahen, blickten sie ihrer hohen biegsamen Gestalt nach und flüsterten Segenssprüche ür ihr junges Haupt."
