Friedrich Nietzsche was a leading German philosopher, a pioneer in raising existential thoughts and forcing society at large to question why they need faith, religion and a sense of belonging.

At the heart of Nietzsche’s argument is the idea that to learn the truth one must question everything they have ever learned or observed. Nothing is free from this self-interrogation, including self-perception, societal teachings, and religion.

Nietzsche insists that nothing can be split into black and white―there exist only shades of grey. This argument forms the foundation for his discussion of religion.

Through his philosophy, Nietzsche insists individuals find their own truth and will, and impose it upon the world to find their authentic way of life.

“Perhaps to lose a sense of where you are implies the danger of losing a sense of who you are.”

Considered to be a pioneer of science fiction, this novel explores the deep and unresolved ideas of science vs the universal power, the extent of human mind and the dangers of being swept by the mind’s wickedness. The Invisible Man warns about the destructive effects science can have if not practiced with limits on the human desires.

Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War.

It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with « woman’s work,” including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the « girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.
