Reading Jurgen | Alexandria
Read Jurgen by James Branch Cabell. Championing cynical idealism, Branch Cabell's icon pierced the veil between reality and romance, revealing how humans craft noble fictions to survive life's absurdity. His revolutionary insight? Our grandest beliefs and loftiest goals are beautiful lies we need - and that's perfectly fine. Far from nihilistic, this frees us to embrace our meaning-making nature.
