A fine collection, well translated. The notes will e very helpful to students, without seeming condescending. Although a small volume, the material is rich and shall indeed provide much for thought, debate and analytical reflection. It is 'artistic literature' to be sure. And commensurate with student budgets. --Paul S. Burdett, Jr., Montclair State College
