Robert Hessen Livres

The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This is the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constitutes a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presents her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism. Here is a challenging new look at modern society by one of the most provocative intellectuals on the American scene.   This edition includes two articles by Ayn Rand that did not appear in the hardcover edition: “The Wreckage of the Consensus,” which presents the Objectivists’ views on Vietnam and the draft; and “Requiem for Man,” an answer to the Papal encyclical Progresso Populorum.

This antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of a historical work, preserving its cultural significance despite potential imperfections such as marks and flawed pages. The reprint aims to protect and promote classic literature, offering a high-quality, affordable edition that remains true to the original text.

Sport - wozu dient eigentlich diese Körperertüchtigung und was macht guten Sport aus? Robert Hessen geht dieser Frage nach. Hierzu vergleicht er unter anderem die Entwicklung des Sports in England mit der in Deutschland. Hessens Beschreibungen bestechen durch ihre ganz eigene Art und tragen mancherorts durchaus humorvolle Züge, zum Beispiel dann, wenn Hessen sich in einem Kapitel mit "Sport und Bier" befasst und sich die Frage stellt, warum in Deutschland eigentlich soviel davon getrunken wird. Sorgfältig bearbeiteter Nachdruck der Originalausgabe von 1908.
