Ecstasy: A Study of Happiness is a philosophical and psychological treatise written by Louis Couperus in 1892. The book explores the concept of happiness and its various forms, including physical pleasure, intellectual satisfaction, and spiritual enlightenment. Couperus delves into the nature of human desire and the pursuit of happiness, examining the role of love, beauty, and art in our lives. He also considers the impact of societal norms and expectations on our happiness, and the ways in which we can break free from these constraints to find true fulfillment. Through a series of essays and reflections, Ecstasy offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of one of life's most elusive and essential goals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
