Description
La Rochefoucauld's Maxims offers a unique perspective on human nature and morality. This collection of 168 maxims is presented in its first-ever French-English edition, featuring a new translation that prioritises literalness while maintaining the nuances of La Rochefoucauld's literary character. The translators have aimed to render the original text as accurately as possible, rendering words like "amour-propre" consistently throughout. This attention to detail allows readers to fully appreciate La Rochefoucauld's paradoxical juxtapositions of words and ideas, which are central to understanding his thought. By presenting La Rochefoucauld's work in its original form, this edition provides a fresh insight into the author's philosophical ideas and their relevance to modern life.
