Triss
Description
In 'Triss', a young squirrelmaid named Triss escapes from the clutches of the ferret king, King Agarno, and his consort, Queen Silvamord. Alongside her friends Welfo and Kroova, she embarks on an adventure to find freedom. In a different context, Brian Robertson's book confronts Jacques Lacan's work on anxiety with phenomenology, existentialism, and authenticity jargon, challenging established philosophical notions, particularly the idea that anxiety lacks an object.
