Chamfort employs a concise, aphoristic style that merges philosophy with satire, reflecting on themes such as human folly, social hypocrisy, and the nature of happiness. The work not only showcases Chamforts brilliance as a moralist but also serves as a commentary on the societal dynamics of his time, characterized by political upheaval and a burgeoning questioning of traditional values. Svbastien-Roch-Nicolas Chamfort was a notable French writer and commentator, whose life experiences as a member of the Parisian elite informed his cynical yet astute observations. His literary career was significantly shaped by the tumultuous political landscape of pre-Revolutionary France, and his own struggles with identity and social acceptance ultimately fueled his philosophical endeavors. Chamforts reflections reveal a man deeply engaged with the contradictions of his society, seeking to unmask the superficiality permeating social interactions. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay of cynicism and wisdom in literature. Chamforts keen insights resonate across centuries, offering readers not just entertainment but also valuable reflections on human nature. For scholars and casual readers alike, "The Cynics Breviary" provides an essential lens through which to view the philosophical discourse of the Enlightenment.</p>...1501961The cynics breviary: Maxims and anecdotes from Nicolas de Chamfort3939https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-cynics-breviary-maxims-and-anecdotes-from-nicolas-de-chamfort/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/237663/14e4cc8c-58df-47a7-b0cb-de1c33ae8f81.jpg?v=638887344090670000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20234066339530126_W3siaWQiOiIyYTk3NDE1Ny00ZjU1LTQ2YTItOGUwNC01MWQxMjk5YTNlNjQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM5LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjozOSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjFUMjA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d4066339530126_<p>"The cynics breviary: Maxims and anecdotes from Nicolas de Chamfort" by Sébastien-Roch-Nicolas Chamfort (translated by William G.
