The Art Of Successful Living

Viac o knihe

Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the leading figures in the thought and literature of our civilisation. He was an essayist, critic, poet, orator and popular philosopher. As a writer, he was always concerned about his audience and his peers. Emerson's essays are a series of loosely related impressions, maxims, proverbs and parables. The Art of Successful Living is a compilation of three of his well-known essays Love, Friendship and Self-Reliance. In these essays, he challenges and investigates the age-old traditions and insists on the interpenetration of the ideal and the real, of the spiritual and the material.
