Either/Or: A Fragment of Life (Penguin Classics)

In Either/or, Using The Voices Of Two Characters - The Aesthetic Young Man Of Part One, Called Simply 'a', And The Ethical Judge Vilhelm Of The Second Section - Kierkegaard Reflects Upon The Search For A Meaningful Existence, Contemplating Subjects As Diverse As Mozart, Drama, Boredom, And, In The Famous Seducer's Diary, The Cynical Seduction And Ultimate Rejection Of A Young, Beautiful Woman. A Masterpiece Of Duality, Either/or Is A Brilliant Exploration Of The Conflict Between The Aesthetic And The Ethical - Both Meditating Ironically And Seductively Upon Epicurean Pleasures, And Eloquently Expounding The Noble Virtues Of A Morally Upstanding Life.
