Reflections On The Human Condition- Signed 1st Edition Eric Hoffer Eric Hoffer 1973, Harper & Row. NY 1st Edition Eric Hoffer burst on the scene in 1951 with his irreplaceable tome, The True  Believer, and assured his place among the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. Hoffer remains a vital figure with his cogent insights to the nature of mass movements and the essence of humankind. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1983. This collection of aphorisms and philosophical comment represents Eric Hoffer at his best. It offers stunning insights that strike home with startling frequency, often most uncomfortable; it has a fine unity, a well-defined theme. That some of the statements invite argument and questioning is inevitable and stimulating.  Eric Hoffer lived for years as a Depression Era  farm worker, and 1943 onward, as a Longshoreman.  Self-taught, his appetite for knowledge--history, science, mankind--formed the basis of his insight to human nature. Reflections on the Human Condition is a collection of poignant aphorisms taken from his writings. The Eric Hoffer Award honors the memory of the great American philosopher Eric Hoffer by highlighting salient writing, as well as the independent spirit of small publishers. Since its inception, the Hoffer has become one of the largest international book awards for small, academic, and independent presses.
