Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - An evergreen science fiction classic, Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland presents an alternate vision of society rendered completely in two dimensions. In the titular Flatland, women are line segments and men are polygons with various side lengths and angles. Even in such a simple world, social hierarchies and inequality persist. Social status is determined by a man's regularity of shape and their number of sides. Women, as line segments, are considered dangerous because they can disappear from view and wound others with their end points. In addition to its social critique, Flatland has also been widely praised by scientists like Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking as a useful thought experiment for conceptualizing life in higher and lower dimensions.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - What lies in wait at the nexus of heartbreak and unrequited love In teasing out the answer to this question, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe produced The Sorrows of Young Werther, one of history's first bestsellers and the book that would propel Goethe to celebrity status and the heights of the Sturm and Drang movement that defined Germany's literary scene during the late 1700s.The novel follows Werther, a young and sensitive artist, through his letters written to his friend Wilhelm concerning his all-encompassing yet unrequited love for Charlotte, a woman already engaged to a man eleven years her senior. The devastation that ensues turned the only 26-year-old Goethe into a celebrity almost overnight, with figures like Napoleon Bonaparte extolling the story as one of the greatest novels of their time. Ultimately, Goethe would distance himself from Young Werther, regretting the fame it brought him and the unwanted attention it placed on the companions of his youth that he drew inspiration from. Even in his lament, Geothe's undeniable mastery of language shines through: "If Werther had been my brother and I had killed him, I could scarcely have been so persecuted by his avenging ghost." History, however, will always remember The Sorrows of Young Werther as one of the greatest works of Romanticism ever produced and an enduring glimpse into the potential for love, rejection, and tragedy that lives within us all.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In The Confessions of Saint Augustine (c. 400 CE), Saint Augustine reveals in brutally honest details the agonizing process of maturation from a worldly and sinful young man to the great advocate for Christianity and virtue he would become.Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) is a masterwork of emotional complexity, heartbreak, and redemption by celebrated English author Thomas Hardy. Drunk and outraged, Michael Henchard auctions off his own wife and daughter for five guineas. The following morning, he searches for his family to no avail and, with the clarity of sobriety, swears off liquor for the next 21 years. In that time, he becomes a successful grain merchant and the titular Mayor of Casterbridge, all the while keeping the shameful truth of his family's disappearance under strict secrecy. Through Henchard, Thomas Hardy paints with compassion a picture of a man whose virtues run as deep as his faults. Ultimately, the past refuses to stay buried, and with the return of his wife and child, Henchard must manage his public image as the mayor of a quiet and close knit Dorsetshire town with the weight of familial responsibility, honor, and truth.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Return of the Native (1878) returns readers to the fictional Edgon Heath, a quiet village on the English countryside, where a taboo tale of thwarted desire pits societal norms against humanity's natural appetites.Through a cast of tragic characters, Hardy constructs a web of deceit and heartbreak in the quiet village of Edgon Heath, its denizens shackled by their conflicting desires for romance and status. Eustacia Vye takes center stage, her agency and flawed ideals propelling the plot along towards its deadly conclusion. To undercut these notably modern themes and characters, the novel also retains an air of classical tragedy. The more each character struggles against their fate, the more they are ensnared by the tendrils of time, place, and action. Those who wish to leave the quiet village to live a lavish life find themselves trapped, while those who wish only to live by their good works find a tumultuous world that refuses to accept them. It is a cautionary tale, a clear warning that when ephemeral societal norms trump humanity's fundamental drive towards passion and love, only grief will follow.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Billy Budd is the final novel from legendary author Herman Melville. Published posthumously almost thirty years after his death, the novel is renowned for its richness of character and its thematic ambiguity.Melville couches his tale of morality inside an exciting nautical adventure set during the tumultuous times of the Napoleonic Wars. The novel follows the titular Billy Budd, a handsome and charismatic sailor conscripted aboard a British Man 'O War named Bellipotent. When one of the senior officers accuses him falsely of mutiny, Budd lashes out and strikes the officer dead in one blow. In the court martial that ensues, the crew struggles to find a just solution to the problem of Billy Budd. On one hand, he has killed a senior officer, and naval law dictates his own life be given in return. On the other, the charges of mutiny originally leveled against him are clearly false and begin a dialogue that calls into question the absolute morality of the law. An unprecedented accomplishment for its time, Melville's utilization of his rich characters to explore morality, political power, and justice levels a potent critique of institutional power that continues to resonate with readers today.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - On the Origin of Species (1859) is legendary naturalist Charles Darwin's groundbreaking and foundational study that birthed the theory of evolutionary biology. Sparking controversy from the time of its publication to the present day, Darwin's theory of natural selection, where upon individuals of the same species have a more robust chance of survival thanks to their unique combination of physical characteristics, completely changed how the world viewed human history. Although rich with information, Darwin was determined in his writing to reach an audience that extended beyond seasoned biologists, making his work accessible and thought-provoking for people of all backgrounds. Accompanying his groundbreaking theories are his own renderings of evolution and abstracts for the various experiments that lead him to his conclusions.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Plato's Republic is structured as a dialogue between Socrates and three different challengers, laying out Plato's views on justice, utopia, and the attributes of the ideal citizen within such a society.Plato purports that true justice provides meaning for both the individual and the community. As a hammer derives meaning from its true purpose of driving home the nail, so too does every person find meaning in their true purpose of creating and maintaining a just society. Broadening his scope, he then posits that the ideal society would consist of three classes: the philosopher kings who dictate laws and morals, the warriors to provide protection, and the producers to keep the wheels turning. Plato's seminal work is still fiercely critiqued and studied within professional and academic circles with the goal of better understanding and improving the opalescent fabric of society. Many influential works of philosophy and literature, including Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's 1984, have taken The Republic as a key starting point for the dissection and discussion of societal norms and trends.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
