- Summary
- This book contains the entire collection of 582 aphorisms which the nineteenth-century Austrian writer Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) published in a number of expanded editions of Aphorismen starting in 1880. While this author also wrote poems, plays, novels, and novellas, she is known today particularly for her insightful aphorisms.
- Stating that "An aphorism is the last link in a long chain of thought," she presents intellectually stimulating and socially engaging short texts dealing with various aspects of human nature, morality, ethics, knowledge, education, politics, youth, age, friendship, love, marriage, sexual politics, and both liberal and female emancipation.
