Luxury And Sacrifice (1898)

Luxury and Sacrifice is a book written by Charles Fletcher Dole in 1898. The book explores the relationship between luxury and sacrifice and how they are intertwined in human life. Dole argues that luxury and sacrifice are not necessarily opposing forces, but rather they complement each other. He believes that luxury can be a form of sacrifice, as it requires effort and hard work to attain it. On the other hand, sacrifice can also be a form of luxury, as it can bring a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores different aspects of luxury and sacrifice. Dole discusses the role of luxury in society, the benefits and drawbacks of living a luxurious lifestyle, and how luxury can lead to moral decay. He also examines the concept of sacrifice and how it is viewed in different cultures and religions. Throughout the book, Dole uses examples from history, literature, and personal experiences to support his arguments. He also provides practical advice on how individuals can find a balance between luxury and sacrifice in their own lives. Overall, Luxury and Sacrifice is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to reconsider their views on luxury and sacrifice. It encourages readers to think about how these concepts are intertwined in their own lives and how they can find a balance between the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
