More about the book
Exploring the relationship between facial features and personality, this book delves into the study of physiognomy as posited by Johann Caspar Lavater. He theorizes that physical traits such as facial shape and features reflect a person's temperament and moral character. Organized into chapters, it offers detailed descriptions and historical examples to illustrate these connections. Although now considered a pseudoscience, Lavater's insights provide a fascinating glimpse into 18th and 19th-century beliefs about human nature and character.
