The Platitudes Of A Pessimist (1897)

The Platitudes Of A Pessimist is a book written by Thomas Longueville and published in 1897. The book is a collection of essays and observations on life, society, and human nature from a pessimistic perspective. Longueville presents a bleak view of the world, arguing that life is full of suffering, disappointment, and futility. He critiques the optimism of his contemporaries, arguing that it is naive and unrealistic. Instead, he advocates for a realistic and sober assessment of life, one that acknowledges the inevitability of pain and suffering. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and Longueville's arguments are well-supported with examples and evidence. Despite its pessimistic outlook, The Platitudes Of A Pessimist is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to think deeply about the nature of existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
