Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
A man finds that one wolf inside him, then it’s Katie bar the doors.
A decently entertaining read. Not sure about it as a true "philosophy of escape" though

Interesting thoughts for artists, technologists and inventors. I feel like Bergson was a very influential thinker whose influence runs far and wide, but the actual content of his "science" is utter rubbish. Overall, I'd say its worth it if you're really, really into the history of the philosophy of science Otherwise, as a standalone work I found it quite dull and verbose( and this is coming from a Deleuze fan)

Written by a textbook narcissist, but Nietzche's love for humanity peeks through the veil of his ego. I loved his opinions on Art and music in Twilight of the idols. And my, what a beautiful writer! His command over prose is of the highest tier, and his rhythmic style just takes you to another place beyond time, a place where you are above the clouds soaring, a feeling that if you wish, you too could achieve anything you ever wanted to.
