Aphorisms from Three Great Authors

Destructive, destructive, eye-opening, provocative, uncanny, thoughts that do not give a damn to calculated seriousness, from three great writers who reflected their genius in the works they wrote... Sometimes making the reader smile under the mustache, sometimes making them dizzy as if they had been punched... All of them were filtered through the alembic of subtle intelligence, although sometimes it seems paradoxical, individual and words that clearly reveal the dark corners of social life... In short, words that deserve to be an aphorism...

The book in your hand reveals once again how dazzling the light these three master writers have spread from years ago to today.
