Produktinformationen zu „The Essays (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) / Barnes & Noble Digital Library (ePub)“
This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.
Most of Bacon's Essays are as relevant as ever; others offer windows into a social order now gone but somehow familiar from its influence on our own. This is a book of moral instruction, a book that distills the wisdom of European civilization, and a book that reminds us that people are people, no matter when they lived. All of this is wrapped in prose showing flashes of brilliance lit by an authorial voice that is authoritative and often kind.
Autoren-Porträt von Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English lawyer, statesman, and philosopher, and one of the most influential thinkers of Western civilization. He was admitted to the bar in 1582, was knighted in 1603, and became Lord Chancellor of England in 1618. Bacon's luck ran out, though, in 1621 when was sentenced to a fine and imprisonment for accepting "gifts" from litigants. Tradition holds that Bacon contracted a fatal illness while experimenting on preservation of flesh by cold, and he died with his reputation and social status imputed.
