Envy was first published in German in 1966, then in an English translation in 1970. This classic study is one of the few books to explore extensively the many facets of envy -- "a drive which lies at the core of man's life as a social being." Ranging widely over literature, philosophy, psychology, and the social sciences, Professor Schoeck -- a distinguished sociologist and anthropologist -- elucidates both the constructive and destructive consequences of envy in social life. Perhaps most importantly he demonstrates that not only the impetus toward a totalitarian regime but also the egalitarian impulse in democratic societies are alike in being rooted in envy.

Vendeur : Mesquite Booksellers, Tucson, AZ, Etats-Unis
Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Hardcover. With jacket. x+452pp. Near fine condition. Main problems are with the jacket, which shows shelfwear and has a couple scratches on the rear (and for this reason is rated a little lower, at 'very good'). The book itself is an excellent copy. Pages are crisp, clean and entirely free of markings. The spine appears to be so tight that we're not sure the book has ever been opened. Boards are straight, with no bumps. The head and tail of the spine are also in nice condition. The book's only blemishes are two or three spots on the fore-edges and a little dirt at the bottom corner, where the fore-edges meet the bottom edge. Dimensions: 6.25x9.25x1.25 inches. Weight: 838 grams. Bound in blue cloth, with stamped silver lettering to the spine. (If you order this from outside the United States, we are likely to request an additional payment to help cover the postage.) Every order includes tracking and is wrapped and robustly packaged with care in Tucson, AZ. ~Mesquite Booksellers. N° de réf. du vendeur 73473
