In the late nineteenth century, with the emergence of Darwinism, eugenics, and parasitology, Sebastian Williams suggests that the \"parasite\" became humanity's ultimate other, a dangerous antagonist. However, numerous authors, including Isaac Rosenberg, John Steinbeck, Franz Kafka, Clarice Lispector, Nella Larsen, and George Orwell, challenge this notion. Ultimately, parasites rely on others for their survival, highlighting the limitations of ethical models that prioritize the discrete individual over interdependent communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 490g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 237 x 157 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666921298\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sebastian Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47481986449658,"sku":"9781666921298","price":85.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751645281677_book.jpg?v=1751753164","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/modernist-parasites-bioethics-dependency-and-literature-post1900-9781666921298","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
