Nights with the Gods (Emil Reich).

"Nights with Gods" by Emil Reich, published in 1939, is an essay collection of various passages and critical analyses based on reinterpretations of historical figures and key positions in philosophy and literature. Reich presents several studies that raise criticisms of modern English social structures, with a focus on different arguments and ideologies. Authors such as Aristotle, Plato and their contemporaries discuss the characteristics and value of specialization, women's roles and gender, class relations, politics, religion and even scientific and technological progress. Besides these analyses, Reich proposes more personal opinions, including faith and morality, as well as some poetic visions. "Nights With Gods" gives an original insight on the human condition where a specific era can be unknowingly followed by transforming them into novel themes and practical applications for intellectual reconsideration.
