Literature

by Ivan18

I had something totally different planned for today. I was going to go to the movies with some friends and watch a Honduran Movie (only two have ever been made). Then I would come back here and rate the movie. When we got to the movies, 1 hour earlier, it was sold out. We decided to crash at one of our friend's house and re-plan the night.

While at his house, I noticed a small but old library, many books ranging from medicine to math. One book in particular caught my attention:

Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler
To clear everything up I'm not a Hitler aficionado but it is really hard to turn away from greatness. Even if this greatness lead to millions of deaths. The book was published in 1925, well before WWII. Mein Kampf means My Struggle, here is an excerpt which intrigued me:

"The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses' attention to certain facts, processes, necessities, etc., whose significance is thus for the first time placed within their field of vision. The whole art consists in doing this so skillfully that everyone will be convinced that the fact is real, the process necessary, the necessity correct, etc."

I'll keep you posted this week if I find anything interesting in this book. Let me know if you have any books that you would like to recommend. Comments are always welcomed.
