Beschreibung

Avarice, Anger: Two Of The Seven Cardinal Sins is a book written by Eugene Sue and published in 1899. The book is a study of two of the seven deadly sins, avarice and anger, and their effects on society. The author explores the ways in which these sins have influenced human behavior throughout history, and how they continue to shape our world today. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on avarice and the second part on anger. Sue examines the root causes of these sins, including greed, envy, and pride, and provides examples of how they have led to corruption, violence, and societal decay. The book also offers insights into how individuals can overcome these sins and lead more fulfilling lives. Overall, Avarice, Anger: Two Of The Seven Cardinal Sins is a thought-provoking exploration of two of the most destructive human tendencies, and a call to action for readers to strive for greater self-awareness and moral responsibility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Marie-Joseph Eugène Sue, known as Eugène Sue, was a French novelist born on January 26, 1804, in Paris, France. He is best known for popularizing the genre of the serial novel in France, particularly through his groundbreaking work The Mysteries of Paris, which was serialized from 1842 to 1843. This novel, with its vivid depictions of Parisian society and its complex plot, became immensely popular and was widely imitated by other writers. Sue's other significant work, The Wandering Jew, published in 1844, continued his exploration of social issues, combining adventure, mystery, and philosophical themes. His works often dealt with the inequalities and injustices of society, particularly focusing on the lives of the lower classes. Eugène Sue's writing was influential in shaping the genre of serialized fiction and was known for its blend of dramatic storytelling with social commentary. He passed away on August 3, 1857, at the age of 53 in Annecy-le-Vieux, France, and was buried in the Cemetery Loverchy in Annecy. Throughout his life, Sue was deeply engaged in both literary and political spheres, using his writing to challenge societal norms and promote social change.
