Here, he confronts the story of the man who challenged God, the man who experienced hell on earth and still did not reject his faith.

The Problems of Philosophy Bertrand Russell · 1900 · ★ 3.9 · 98p · ≈ 3h · Challenging In the following pages I have confined myself in the main to those problems of philosophy in regard to which I thought it possible to say something positive and constructive, since merely negative criticism seemed out of place. For this reason, theory of knowledge occupies a larger space than metaphysics in the present volume, and some topics much discussed by philosophers are treated very… Shares: Introductions, Philosophie, Philosophy

Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion George Bernard Shaw · 1900 · 58p · ≈ 1h · Challenging The French Revolution overthrew one set of rulers and substituted another with different interests and different views.

Escape, and other essays Arthur Christopher Benson · 1915 · ★ 5.0 · 302p · ≈ 10h · Challenging This book is romantic story, I walked to-day down by the river side. The Cam is a stream much slighted by the lover of wild and romantic scenery; and its chief merit, in the eyes of our boys, is that it approaches more nearly to a canal in its straightness and the deliberation of its slow lapse than many more famous floods--and is therefore more adapted for the maneuvres of eight-oared boats!
