Books that have Changed Man’s Thinking
If you ever wanted to know, how the written word has influenced and shaped our lives, this is a collection of some of the most significant and powerful books ever written. Conscious of the suffering that man inflicts upon man, many brave writers have spoken out against the State and exposed the evils of the time. Others, Freud and Darwin, challenged the accepted codes and beliefs of the day.
Under the title ‘Books That Have Changed Man’s Thinking’, Heron Books assembled many of the world’s most profound literary works. These are important books, books that the thinking person cannot ignore. They are books that will increase your understanding of the past, its effect on the present, and books which spotlight the dangers for the future. Some of the titles are surprising. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’, for example not only a phenomenally successful novel but the book that fanned into a roaring blaze the revulsion of the time against slavery.

I have the full set of every title and may sell. I got 80% of them at the time as a teenager and have gradually filled the gaps. They are lovely to haandle and to see on display. And an interesting and unusual mix of authors… not at all the easily predictable ones. I read them all and they definitely changed my formative teenage mind!
I HAVE ALMOST COMPLETE SET OF “BOOKS THAT HAVE CHANGED MAN’S THINKING”, A SELECTION OF THE DICKENS AND CONRAD COLLECTION AND SEVERAL OTHERS SUCH AS GRAVES’ “I CLAUDIUS”, HELLER’S “CATCH 22” AND “DAG HAMMARSKJOLD”.
