A wee bit of shelfwear to dustjacket only. Protected in myl ar. "The Roman philosopher Plotinus (c. 205-70) is perhaps best knownt oday for his doctrine of self-transformation through contemplation: 'Never stop sculpting your own statue, ujntil the godlike splendor of virtue shines forth to you.'. Hadot carefully examines Plotinus's views on the self, existence, love, virtue, gentleness, and solitude. Plotinus's counsel against fixation on the body and all earthly matters stemmed not from disgust or fear, but rather from his awareness of the negative effect that bodily preoccupation and material concern could have on spiritual exercises." (Notes from dustjacket flaps). Orignally published in French as PLOTIN OU LA SIMPLICITE DU REGARD by Institut des Etudes Augustiniennes (1989).

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) H. Lawrence Hoffman (illustrator). First American Edition. [nice clean copy, minor shelfwear only; jacket shows just a touch of wear to extremities]. "The story of two well-to-do Italian families, who are engulfed by the impersonal forces of world events. From the late thirties when the teenage youngsters are growing up -- the boys to become involved in anti-Fascist politics, the girls to seek marriage -- to the close of the war when the scattered group is reunited in their little town in northern Italy, this vivid story carries the stamp of living truth." Ginzburg (1916-1991) has been called "arguably the most important woman writer of post-World War II Italy." This book, her first full-length novel following two shorter works published in 1942 and 1949, earned her the prestigious Veillon International literary prize; it was published in England under the title "All Our Yesterdays." Decent copies of both English-language editions are quite scarce.
