Read need for life and death, because it is the greatest human gift. Just think: Only a man knows how to read.
"The Book of Herbs" by Sandor Marai is a collection of thoughts, mostly philosophical. The title clearly reflects the nature of a collection of good books councils, which, according to the author, it is guided by in life. Notice that this "herbarium" have a better understanding of human nature, and its appropriate use. They should, as the healing properties of herbal-enhanced immunity, the temper of spirit; cure man's uncertainty in making decisions about everyday life. On the cover of "The Book of Herbs" issue that I have, is a picture of digitalis. It is an interesting metaphor for media content, because the plant was used for the treatment of neuroses and heart disease.
author wrote this "guide" as if his opinions were unquestionable. Supports them with his own experience, as well as theories of the world's sages. Urges them to read the works of Seneca, Aristotle, Tolstoy, Marcus Aurelius, and Scripture. Marai refers to arts and culture. Interpreters describe the importance of masterpieces. Are encouraged to fill your soul happy harmony of human perfection. For everyday listening to music by Bach, Beethoven or Mozart. Do not forget the addiction, and what makes a man a fool worthy of condemnation.
Sandor Marai is sure every word that is used. Teaches that thinking man, when he can, silent, and when they can no longer remain silent, then says or writes. And it does so only in the final need. Creation "Book of Herbs" came out as you can see the tremendous needs of the author. The book also perceive as a justification of actions and way of life.
with some of the comments Sandor does not disagree. Despite this, the book contains many verses that I would definitely cite the nadarzających up occasions.
" Book of Herbs," I would recommend to anyone. It reads pleasantly and lightly. It is a breath of fresh air, as well as escape from daily routine. Helps you reach into the mind, leaving a lasting impression discovered truths providers that human evil and human goodness are in equal shock and life-giving part of the rhythm of life.
