In a series of evocative letters, the great Scottish travel writer recounts her 1878 adventures in Japan—a country opened to “outsiders” a mere ten years earlier.

Laughter An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic
Laocoon An Essay upon the Limits of Painting and Poetry
Henri Bergson Translated by Cloudesley Brereton and Fred Rothwell
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Translated by Ellen Frothingham
Written at the turn of the twentieth century, Henri Bergson’s essay on laughter mirrors the era’s preoccupation with technology.

The Ego and His Own
The Table Talk of Martin Luther
The Case of the Individual Against Authority
Martin Luther Edited with an introduction by Thomas S. Kepler Opinionated, blunt, and on occasion, sublime, Martin Luther made these off-the-cuff remarks to students and colleagues, who eagerly recorded his words. Luther’s followers defied a papal edict ordering the destruction of this book, which survived to offer an insider’s view of the personality and wisdom of the great reformer.

“Stirner’s declaration of independence of the individual throws down the challenge to ALL things ‘sacred’.”—Max Baginski, Mother Earth magazine
Max Stirner
✶ Classic of religious thought ✶ Least expensive edition available
Credited with influencing Nietzsche, Ayn Rand, Libertarians, and Existentialists, Stirner’s prophetic 1844 work challenges the very notion of greater “good” as the driving force of civilization. By examining the role of ego in men, Stirner chronicles the “battle” of the individual against the collective, showing how, throughout history, the latter invariably leads to oppression. Republication of the New York, 1963 edition. 384pp. 5 3/8 x 8 1/2.
