Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Good. Vintage Penguin. #L59. La Rochefoucauldâs Maxims distils a lifetime of observation into a series of brief, penetrating reflections on human motives, self-interest and the subtle ways people disguise their true desires. Each maxim offers a cool, unsentimental look at pride, vanity, love, ambition and t…he pursuit of advantage, exposing how often virtue is a matter of appearance rather than substance. In its Penguin edition, the collection presents these concise, polished insights in a clear modern translation, highlighting the wit, precision and psychological acuity that have kept La Rochefoucauldâs reflections influential for centuries.
