What is Human? - Cloth Bound

What is Human? - Cloth-bound Book Description: This work, which consists of philosophical conversations between an old wise man with strong observation skills and a quick-tongued tongue, and a young man who is naive but full of desire to learn, reflects Mark Twain's views, which he wrote under the influence of the results of the Industrial Revolution. According to the old wise man, man is just a machine working with a single instinct. This instinct is the master within man; it dominates him, man seeks to satisfy his own soul and gain his own approval; However, the skeptical and curious young man objects to him and asks him to justify his views. Is free will an illusion? Can the mind be controlled? Mark Twain wrote this work in 1906, four years before his death, and because he thought it would create controversy, he published 250 copies anonymously to distribute only to his close circle. We present this work of the most sharp-tongued author of American literature, which makes us question the power that triggers our thoughts and has a great impact, with the careful translation of Bülent O. Doğa. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
