Sinossi

David Hume: The Collected Works presents a comprehensive anthology of the philosophical writings of one of the most pivotal figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. This meticulously curated collection includes seminal texts such as *A Treatise of Human Nature* and *An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding*, showcasing Hume's distinctive empiricist approach and his skepticism towards metaphysical speculations. Through clear, accessible prose enriched by a masterful command of language, Hume invites readers into profound explorations of human psychology, morality, and epistemology, contextually situated within the intellectual currents of 18th-century thought. David Hume (1711-1776), a Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, is celebrated for his pioneering contributions to modern philosophy, particularly in the realm of empiricism and naturalism. Influenced by the Enlightenment's rational spirit, Hume's works reflect a deep inquiry into the nature of knowledge and belief, often questioning the very foundations of causality and the self. His background in law and history, combined with a keen interest in human nature, profoundly shaped his philosophical legacy. This collection is an essential resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy, offering insights into Hume's critical examination of human intuition and belief systems. It invites readers to engage with timeless questions about the nature of existence, reason, and the limits of human understanding, making it a vital addition to any philosophical library.

    Vaninka - Celebrated Crimes Book 17

    To paraphrase the note from the translator, The Celebrated Crimes of Alexandre Dumas père was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language—has minced no words—to describe violent scenes of violent times.In this, the seventeenth of the series, Dumas, in this case more a novelist rather than a historian, turns his attention to a story from Russia: that of Vaninka. Her father was a Russian count and a general in the Russian Imperial army under Paul I. She falls in love with one of her father's officers, whose tragic but accidental death leads her to a savage crime. Ironically, bringing her to justice requires a great perversion of justice itself.This story is historical romance, not history. It does show us something of the life of Russia at the time, and takes a side trip through part of the Napoleonic wars, but the focus is firmly on the price a beautiful young girl pays for her arrogant willingness to play fpr keeps with human hearts.Dumas may have collaborated on this, as he frequently did in his works, with other writers. Nevertheless, it is clearly Dumas who has the final say on this work, as with all the other works in this series.Enjoy!

    As Lyle Saxon writes in his introduction: "This book is not a history of the Mississippi River in the strict sense of the word, although I have outlined the discovery, the exploration, and the settlement of the valley�but this volume is like a scrap-book in which I have collected men�s thoughts, my own thoughts. These incidents seem to me informative, or amusing, or terrible, or tragic, or fantastic, but they are all a part of the living pageant which moved down the river through the changing years." First published in 1927, Father Mississippi contains accounts of those who lived their lives along the Mississippi River, and documents the first ripple in a wave of tremendous changes that took place in its environment. Over 70 years later, Father Mississippi still stands as an important history of the floods of 1927, most often remembered for their far-reaching impact on the cities along the Mississippi River, and the devastation they caused to towns in the southern Mississippi River Valley region. The accounts provide easy reading while acquainting the audience with characters such as Father Hennepin and Molly Glass, the murderess, who speak in their own words. Photos of life along the river and of the floods accompany these captivating excerpts.
