"Heart of Darkness" remains one of the most provocative English novels of the twentieth century, exploring timeless themes such as: human depravity, racism, and madness. This edition is based on the one published in Conrad's collection of novellas in 1902 called "Youth."The darkness of the human heart is on full display as Marlow and Mr. Kurtz react to the jungles in the heart of Africa. The river that takes them into Africa's interior reveals to them all that the 'civilized' are hardly that.

Scottish philosopher Davie Hume's biting criticism of religion and non-empirical methods of pursuing knowledge have resonated over the centuries, manifesting even to this day in the "New Atheist" movement. In this, his 'second enquiry' in which he concerned himself with morals, he sought out to place morality on entirely empirical grounds. Hume considered this one of his best works. While many find Hume's arguments compelling, that they are still raised today suggests that others remain unconvinced. Indeed, morality--its source, whether it is objective or subjective, etc.--is a matter of fierce debate to this day. Hume aimed to settle the issue once and for all. Though he did not succeed in doing that, he did succeed in making an important and early contribution to the subject.

We live today with the effects of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, so to understand where we are, we must know where we were. Tacitus was an ancient Roman historian that gives us a deep look at one period in Rome's chaotic story. While Tacitus doesn't provide us all we need to know the story of 'us', he does fill in important gaps, which means that Tacitus and his "Histories" is essential reading.

Bernhard Schreiber was born in 1942 in Stuttgart after his father died in action as an officer of the Luftwaffe. His investigations into the Holocaust led him to discover that many of the guiding principles of the Nazis had global appeal, both before and after World War II. Disturbed by the success of the new strategies pursued by proponents of eugenics, euthanasia, and population control, especially (but not exclusively) in the field of psychiatry, Schreiber decided he needed to distribute the findings of his research, which he did around 1974 in a book he called, "The Men Behind Hitler: A German Warning to the World." This is a reprint of Schreiber's book created directly from a physical copy of his book as a reference.

Walter Lippmann wrote his "Public Opinion" at a time when something like the 'mass media' was coming into existence. Prior to the age of electronic communication, the only mechanism for reaching large numbers of individuals was the newspapers. In World War I, he saw how opportunistic nations used the newspapers to serve their often nefarious aims. Lippmann, however, believed that in the hands of super-intelligent, disinterested, omni-benevelont 'experts,' the 'mass media' could bring about world peace. The school system, the advent of radio, and of course, the television, were arriving or coming along shortly. Each allowed a small group of people the ability to manage a much larger group, inspiring optimism among liberals and progressives that with the right forumula, the horrors seen in World War I would never occur again.Lippmann wrote "Public Opinion" in 1922, shortly after World War I. In 1924, a certain Adolf Hitler would be spending time in jail. If this merited any mention in any newspaper, it is doubtful that no expert paid it any mind. 1939 was, after all, a long way off.

Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg) did not live long on the earth, but lived long enough to leave his mark on great writers and thinkers such as George MacDonald and C.S. Lewis. Though unfinished at his death, his novel, "Heinrich von Ofterdingen," with its resplendent blue flower, left an enduring mark in the imaginations of many writers of fantasy and 'romance.' The 'blue flower' signifies the deep unsatisfaction that humanity has with its own lot, its striving for the fulfillment which can only come through an encounter with the transcendent, which seems always to be just out of reach. Just out of reach, yes, but real, nonetheless.

Thomas Malthus was a mild-mannered economist who set the world afire in 1798 with this essay on the 'principle of population.' Prompted to put his thoughts down on paper in response to a work by William Godwin ("Avarice and Profusion") and other writers, such as Marquis de Condorcet and Adam Smith, the book was originally published anonymously... and for good reason. Malthus understood that the implications of his 'principle' did not align well with Christian charity.Charles Darwin would eventually seize upon the 'population principle,' where strife surrounds humanity's quest for scarce natural resources, as the actual mechanism by which life emerged in the first place, through natural selection. Now imbued with the certainty of science, Malthus' principle combined with Darwin's insight, was begging for application to human society. The application most commonly is called 'eugenics.' However, other applications exist, too, such as 'population control.'This is the original 1798 edition. In later editions, Malthus would spend a great deal of time clarifying his position and defending himself against critics. It was one of these later editions that Darwin was influenced by. Still, it is always interesting to hear the argument as it was first proposed. This edition also includes the essay by Godwin that first moved Malthus to write his book.

Bertrand Russell's "The Problems of Philosophy" is a classic, and enduring, depiction of the fundamental concerns that philosophers seek to address. Is reality a fabrication of our own individual mind? If not, how do we know it is not? How can we know anything? What role does language play in our perception of reality? And so on. This work by Russell also has this going for it: complicated issues are explained simply and succinctly, making it an easily accessible introduction to 'the problems of philosophy.'

John Cotton penned his primer and catechesism in the 1600s, but the Puritans brought it with them when they came to America, where it it flourished. Indeed, one of our earliest copies available is this facsimile version from 1777, which was sub-titled, "Improved for The More Easy Attaining the True Reading of English." Witness in this careful reproduction how seamlessly the teaching of literacy in the colonies was with teaching of Christianity. Many reproductions of this primer are small and hard to read, but this edition has slightly increased the size of the text so that it is more readable. As with any facsimile, all the flaws will by definition be retained. On the same measure, all the aspects that made the work great remain, too.

Frédéric Bastiat is well known for his 'broken window' parable. While other economists were looking at how maintaining a standing army, launching public works projects, and even destroying things, as a way to spur the economy, Bastiat showed in this classic economics essay just how wrong this thinking is - or at least, how it is incomplete. 'What is seen' is plain enough: the broken window. 'What is not seen' requires some imagination and curiosity, but is nonetheless real: the things not purchased because the money had to be used for the window, and other unintended consequences.This is the original 1853 English translation out of the original French, as found in Bastiat's "Essays on Political Economy."

Jonathan Swift thought that England's anti-poverty proposals were so outrageously evil that nothing short of an absurd parody of them would suffice. His "Modest Proposal: For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick" is presented with a completely straight face. The irony is this: in the three centuries since, humanity has made it increasingly difficult to find evils so absurd that no one would actually attempt them, leaving modern-day Swifts with little material to work with anymore.

This 1912 translation includes beautiful full color illustrations alongside ones rendered in black and white. Making this edition even more desirable is its foreword by G.K. Chesterton, the author of "The Everlasting Man."

The Bahutu Manifesto was penned at a volatile moment in the history of Rwanda. Though the genocide of the 1990s was still far off, the Manifesto reveals that the seeds were already sown. In 1957, the Hutus were enjoying a reversal of fortune at the expense of the Tutsis, invoking the right of the 'majority' to rule the country. The international community, which had been favoring the Tutsis at the expense of the Hutus, accepted the arguments of "Hutu Power" as a proper application of democratic thinking. The Bahutu Manifesto was signed, with others, by the soon to be first elected president, Grégoire Kaybanda.There is just one problem: while elevating the principles of democracy, all parties involved retained the racial thinking that had been brought by the colonialists, who at the time (c. 1890-1930s) had themselves been saturated in scientific racism (eugenics). In an ominous foreshadowing of what would come about forty years later, The Bahutu Manifesto urged that identity cards still contain which race someone belonged too. Beginning around 1994, these identity cards would become death warrants for hundreds of thousands Tutsis in Rwanda.The Bahutu Manifesto has a more optimistic feel about it, reflecting the rising fortunes of the Hutu authors. Though bloodshed would soon follow, the Manifesto gives insight into the historically important period of Rwandan history, before most of the blood would be spilled.This edition is an English translation out of the French original.

"The Beautiful and Damned" was F. Scott Fitzgerald's second major novel, in which he explored the angst of a handful of Americans after the "Great War." Fitzgerald's career would be brought to a sudden end with his untimely death in 1940, but his renown as an American writer would grow posthumously. This edition is based on Fitzgerald's original, 1922, version.

"The Sorrows of Young Werther" is the brooding tale of a young man in love with a woman who cannot, or will not, love him back. To this day, this is probably Goethe's best known work. Originally written in German, this edition was translated into the English by Bayard Taylor, and updated for contemporary readers by Benjamin Strycker.

The Scopes Monkey Trial was a watershed moment in American history, pitting 'old time religion' against the growing acceptance of Darwinism. Strictly speaking, the Darwinists lost: Scopes was declared guilty. However, Clarence Darrow won in the court of public opinion. After the movie "Inherit the Wind" ensured that William Jennings Bryan would be seen by later generations as a bumbling fool, there is no doubt just who were the victors and who were the losers in the trial. However, what is portrayed in movies and newspaper accounts don't always match reality. Since no film exists of the actual trial, the next best thing is to read the actual trial transcript. For the first time in generations, readers can now hold in their hands the transcript of one of America's most famous trials, complete and unabridged. This edition has only been lightly edited, leaving intact many of the inconsistencies and incongruities of the original transcript. In its own way, these various typographical errors contribute to the 'charm' of the actual event, as remembered in the annals of history.
