Handing the colony of Louisiana back and forth between their empires, the French and Spanish left a legacy that lives in such forms as the architecture of the Vieux Carre and a civil law deriving from the Napoleonic Code. Acadian refugees, German farmers, black slaves and free blacks, along with Italians, Irish, and the "Kaintucks" who helped Andrew Jackson win the Battle of New Orleans added to the state's distinctiveness. Made rich by sugar cane, cotton, and Mississippi River commerce before the Civil War, Louisiana faced poverty afterward. Battles between Bourbon Democrats and Reconstruction Republicans followed, ultimately involving the Custom House Ring and the Knights of the White Camelia. By methods that remain controversial, Huey Long ended "government by gentlemen" with economic transformations other had sought. Gas, oil, and industrialization have additionally "Americanized" the state.Something of Louisiana's historic joie de vivre remains, however, to the gratification of residents and visitors alike; both will enjoy Joe Gray Taylor's telling of the story.

BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL
Format: Paperback
First and foremost: as far as this specific translation of the book goes- I didn't have too much of an issue with it. I will say that whilst reading, I noticed some of the letters were scratched.
This will not go against my opinion of the book.
At first, I was going place this book in C tier. Only because I couldn't understand it. But after finishing, I will instead put it in A tier. (For me)
To start off, I will say to be careful! Only because Neitzsche is (to my understanding) a misunderstood source.
With that out of the way, I would like to say that this book did indeed challenge what I believed about "Good" and "Bad."
How? Well, Neitzsche has an interesting view on the concept of "Good and Evil" viewing it as "Imposing your will to power onto others and the world around you"
By the fourth section, you are given various quotes. Some of those I found myself liking. One of them being: "He who fights with monsters mustn't become one. The longer you gaze into the abyss, it gazes also into you"
For me to understand what was said here, I feel as if I should look more into Neitzsche (as far as this review is concerned at the moment)
Final score: 4.5/5

Provoking philosophical work
Format: Paperback
A challenging and thought‑provoking philosophical work that explores morality, individuality, and human nature. Deep and insightful, though dense and not an easy read.

This is a tragedy 😭
Format: Hardcover
First of all, front cover has a huge crease, not a big deal. Then I go through the book, and pages are stuck together, printing error. Okay, I can get over it, but then there's GLITTER ALL ON MY HANDS. I feel like this is an arts and craft project a kindergartner swapped with the book I ordered, would buy again
