Description and Table of Contents

Description

This anthology demonstrates just how rewarding an art-form the aphorism can be, and just how brilliantly the aphorist can reveal the hidden truths or ironies of existence. The collection considers the most important human emotions and endeavours, from folly and fame to desire and death.
