Publisher's Synopsis
The World is a book written by an anonymous author who identifies himself only as ""A Deserter."" Originally published in 1838, the book is a collection of essays that offer a critical perspective on society and culture in the early 19th century. The author's tone is often satirical and irreverent, and he frequently takes aim at the social and political institutions of his time.The essays in The World cover a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, literature, and art. The author is particularly critical of the hypocrisy and corruption he sees in the Church and the government, and he argues that the only way to bring about real change is through revolution. He also explores the role of the artist in society, arguing that art should be used to challenge and subvert the status quo.Despite its critical tone, The World is also a work of great wit and humor. The author's sharp observations and clever wordplay make for an entertaining and thought-provoking read. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a radical thinker in the early 19th century, and it remains relevant and engaging today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
