You can find them in so many civilizations going back forever. I think we don't hear about these things often because each generation tries to forget...or even erase the bad parts. I haven't heard of this particular one before. <br /><br />What I think will be interesting is to see what is kept back from our current time. With today's technology, the very evil & bad things we do are recorded beyond our control even. Even just the embarrassingly bad things we do when we're young. And the way some people search for bad things about others so they can shine a light on it to the world...future generations may be even more shocked by today's standards than by things like this book. <br /><br />I expect when the book was written, most people didn't think anything bad at all about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was used to teach children lessons. <br /><br />There have always been bad & good.....& we are each capable of both whether we admit it or not.

I wonder how it was received in the day. It does make an unusual addition to your collection.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02307034034061181211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-91899917833699534212019-03-22T20:27:15.911-06:002019-03-22T20:27:15.911-06:00Surprised it was published, doesn't appear to ...Surprised it was published, doesn't appear to be for children and he sounds angry. Not quite a satire, comedy or political, just a man venting in a weird way. Very strange book. I once read a book from a well known author, and this particular book upset me so much I immediately tossed it in the trash. They know they are well known and people will read their book because of their popularity and it is just trash and a destroyer of goodness. Since then, I refuse to read any of his books.
