The Grip Of Desire

By Hector France

Book Overview

The Grip of Desire is a philosophical and psychological exploration of the nature of desire, written by the French philosopher Hector France. The book delves into the complexities of human desire, examining its origins, its effects on the individual and society, and its relationship to other aspects of human experience such as love, power, and morality. France draws on a wide range of philosophical and literary sources, including the works of Nietzsche, Freud, and Sartre, as well as classic literature and mythology, to create a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of this fundamental aspect of human existence. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both academic and general readers interested in exploring the mysteries of desire.It was not only the faces which excited his longings. In spite of himself, the opulent breast of the fair player entered his imagination and his thoughts seemed to search each one's neckerchief, seeking this powerful nourishment for his appetite. He bad tried to drive away these abominable desires, but it was in vain: the forbidden fruit was there and something seemed to tell him that he had only to stretch out his hand to seize it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
