Synopsis:

Collana Perennial Library. N. P 71 - New York - 1966 - in 16° - - pp.160 - Brossura editoriale illustrata - The higly provocative, best-selling analysis of the fanatic - the man compelled to join cause, any cause - and a penatrating study of mass movements from early Christianity to modern nationalism and Communism

From the Back Cover: A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The True Believer -- the first and most famous of his books -- was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences.Completely relevant and essential for understanding the world today, The True Believer is a visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a penetrating study of how an individual becomes one.
