Book Overview
Conquest and Self-Conquest: Or Which Makes The Hero? is a book written by Maria Jane Mintosh and published in 1876. The book explores the theme of heroism and asks the question of whether it is achieved through conquest or self-conquest. Mintosh argues that true heroism is not achieved through physical conquest alone, but also through the conquest of one's own inner demons and weaknesses. She provides examples of historical figures who exemplify both types of heroism, including Alexander the Great and Socrates. The book is written in a philosophical and reflective style, and is intended to inspire readers to strive for their own personal heroism through self-improvement and self-discipline. Overall, Conquest and Self-Conquest is a thought-provoking and inspiring exploration of the nature of heroism and what it means to be a true hero.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
