Features: Not only in business but also in the realm of thought, our time is undergoing a genuine clearance sale, where everything is sold at astonishingly low prices, making people begin to doubt whether the truly good will still be bid for. The author wrote this book because writing is a luxury, the more pleasant it is, the more attention it attracts, and the fewer people buy and read his works. – Kierkegaard
The 19th-century Danish philosopher S?ren Kierkegaard, with his deeply introspective thought, pioneered modern Western existential philosophy. The book includes "Fear and Trembling," which follows the story of Abraham and Isaac in the Bible as its central thread, exploring faith and the paradoxical concepts born from it. The book also features another of the author's renowned works, "The Journal of a seducer," which tells the story of the protagonist's "I" and the object of his affection, "Catharina," in an intense and ambiguous love affair, thereby revealing the reality of human existence and the reflection on such existence.
