Book Overview

""Youth and Egolatry"" is a novel written by Spanish author Pio Baroja. The story revolves around a young man named Fernando Ossorio who is trying to find his place in the world. Fernando is a talented artist who is obsessed with his own success and fame. He believes that he is destined for greatness and is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters who challenge his beliefs and force him to confront his own egotism. The novel explores themes of youth, ambition, and the dangers of self-absorption. It is a thought-provoking and insightful look at the human condition, and a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of the human psyche.Such are the words of the psychologist, DuBois-Reymond, in one of his well-known lectures. The agnostic attitude is the most seemly that it is possible to take. Nowadays, not only have all religious ideas been upset, but so too has everything which until now appeared most solid, most indivisible. Who has faith any longer in the atom? Who believes in the soul as a monad? Who believes in the objective validity of the senses?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
