The Triumph Of Failure (1900)

By Patrick Augustine Sheehan

Book Overview

The Triumph of Failure is a book written by Patrick Augustine Sheehan and published in 1900. The book is a collection of essays and stories that explore the theme of failure and its significance in human life. Sheehan argues that failure is not something to be feared or avoided, but rather a necessary and valuable experience that can lead to personal growth and development. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of failure. In the first section, Sheehan discusses the nature of failure and its place in human experience. He argues that failure is an inevitable part of life and that it can teach us important lessons about ourselves and the world around us. In the second section, Sheehan explores the different forms that failure can take, including moral failure, intellectual failure, and artistic failure. He examines the causes of these failures and suggests ways in which we can learn from them and move forward. The third section of the book focuses on the role of failure in history and literature. Sheehan examines the lives of famous historical figures who experienced failure, such as Napoleon and Julius Caesar, and explores the ways in which their failures shaped their lives and legacies. He also discusses literary works that deal with the theme of failure, such as Shakespeare's Macbeth and Dante's Inferno. Overall, The Triumph of Failure is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of a topic that is often overlooked or misunderstood. Sheehan's writing is clear and engaging, and his arguments are backed up by examples from history, literature, and everyday life. The book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to better understand the nature of failure and its place in human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
