About This Book

Three extended essays offer distinct but connected inquiries: a close comparative reading of Goethe and Tolstoy that maps aesthetic and moral contrasts alongside unexpected affinities in their attitudes toward art, humanity, and the writer’s vocation; a historical-political analysis of Frederick the Great and the Grand Coalition that examines leadership, statecraft, and the friction between individual authority and collective forces; and a reflective account of an occult experience that probes belief, psychological suggestibility, and the boundary between mystical encounter and rational critique.
