Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Soft cover has light shelf wear, light spine crease, otherwise without flaw. 5 X 7.25" 144 pages. 'Wit, irony and intellectual nourishment, the three ingredients of a Russell essay, are mixed as provocatively as ever in this collection. Various aspects of modern lunacy are examined; the latent anarchy of domestic life, the anti-social character of high finance, and the folly of working too hard in a machine age. Among the political essays there is a powerful demolition of both Communism and Fascism, and an impressive statement of the case for Socialism. One may feel that Bertrand Russell is a little hard on women choosing hats, but there is no denying that as one shares in the fullness of his mind the vexations of life lose much of their sting.'.
