Book Overview

The Platitudes Of A Pessimist is a book written by Thomas Longueville and published in 1897. The book is a collection of aphorisms, or short statements, that express a pessimistic worldview. Longueville's writing style is concise and witty, and his observations are often darkly humorous. The book covers a range of topics, from love and marriage to religion and politics. Longueville's pessimism is rooted in a belief that human beings are fundamentally flawed and that life is full of suffering and disappointment.
