    This is my second time purchasing from this seller, and somehow it was better than the first. The seller reached out to let me know one book in my order was in a different condition than listed, offered a discount, and even included a surprise bonus book that looks amazing! Shipping was incredibly fast, the packaging was thoughtful and secure, and the books arrived exactly as described. I could spend hours browsing this shop--such a gem! I'll definitely be back soon!

    The Bible arrived exactly as described, and at a fair price. It was packaged very well so the Bible would not receive damage during the shipping process. Also, the seller shipped the Bible promptly. Highly recommend this seller.

  • Freud on why civilization makes us unhappy

    Pros: Foundational Insight into Human Nature: Freud explores the paradox that the very structures designed to make civilization possible (laws, moral codes, repression) are also sources of human suffering. Philosophical Depth: Engages with themes of guilt, aggression, love, and the death drive with startling clarity. Historically and Culturally Significant: Helps understand the intellectual atmosphere of post-WWI Europe and remains relevant in modern debates about societal malaise. Compact Yet Powerful: The book is short but conceptually rich, making it ideal for focused study or philosophical reading groups. Freud's Literary Style: When translated well, Freud's prose is sharp, reflective, and at times poetic. Cons: Dense and Theoretical: Not easily accessible for readers unfamiliar ...
