Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Philosophers and Actresses, Vol. 1 of 2 Philosophers Actresses all men are philosophers, all women are actresses: Socrates who studies with Aspasia - Aspasia who rules the world under the name of Pericles; Abelard who gives lessons to Heloise - Heloise who says to him in a low tone, Ignoramus! - Voltaire who teaches the art of acting to mademoiselle de Livry, who soon returns his lessons. Every man who is not coupled with a woman, is not a man. A poet has said: "God commences the artist, and woman perfects him;" and that poet was right. Eve is the true book in which Adam studied. God has given philosophy to man, but he has taught woman the art of acting. At a certain diapason, among all the men and women who have taken a bite of the bitter fruit of knowledge, among the privileged of wit and beauty - artists, thinkers, women of fashion, courtiers - for there is always a court - the greater part are philosophers, the greater part are actresses. It is only at the Sorbonne and at the theatre, that they are seldom met. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
