A table of alternative maxim numbers and an index of topics help the reader to locate any maxim quickly and to appreciate the full range of La Rochefoucauld's thought on any of his favourite themes, such as self-love, vice and virtue, love and jealousy, friendship and self-interest, passion and pride. - ;This superb publication of La Rouchefoucauld's seminal 'Maxims' combines the erudition and comprehensiveness of a scholarly edition with the welcoming accessibility of a first-class textbook. - Kevin De Ornellas, University of Ulster Condition (Good): Average used copy with visible wear. All pages present and readable. May include small tears, creasing, rubbing, or previous owner marks, but remains structurally sound.…
