Politics and the Arts: Letter to M. D'Alembert on the Theatre (Agora Editions) by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Should people of Geneva establish a theatre? What consequences could it have? Is theatre morally bad? And what about actors? What virtues or vices could they bring to a lovely city of Geneva?
This letter offers to reader an interesting dispute between Rousseau and D´Alembert. I think, the book has a lot to offer to contemporary reader, because, well, today, we don´t think very much about things as Rousseau did.

This is well-written, because it can be read by everyone and it´s full of thoughts. Thanks to this book, you can easily realize what one philosophical system means and on what grounds it stands. So if you are a layman to philosophy or existentialism, this is a good book for beginning.
But: existentialism is too optimistic about human nature and freedom. If you know a little bit about contemporary psychology, you know that what Sartre said in this book is probably just an illusion. But may be this illusion is necessary for human life.

I don´t know, what a book for young people should contain. I don´t know, what criteria for a good book for teenagers are. But for me, an adult, this book has no interesting thoughts, no deep meanings.
This book is a mirror for young adults from wealthy countries. It shows their absolutely peddling pseudo-problems. But it is all. I think, that literature for teenagers should offer not only a mirror to the present state, but also a ladder to the higher levels of human existence.
In this book, there´s no ladder.
The end of the story is very unrealistic and idealistic. People don´t change from one day to another. They don´t change in a minute after a critical situation. All changes possible are long-lasting, continual cultivation of character.
In the graphic part of book, I want to pick up different tones of purple color in drawings, which exponentiate mysterious mood.

Read it if you want to read something really absurd and funny, something you have never imagined.
Don´t read it if you want to read something with meaning, truth or something deep.
Don´t read it also if you don´t like black humor.

These kinds of books, books about introverts, say: "Introvert, you are not alone!" Thank you for that.
Chapter about brains of introverts was very interesting for me.

This book is an excellent example of possibility of popularization of science through all sorts of people.
The main idea is that things are and things happen. We may think they are bad or they are good, but they just are. Our task is to cope with them. We can do it with smile or we can just cry. There´s always a choice.
