Review #1

Poor quality printing

Don't buy this version of the book. The printing quality is terrible. The preview is misleading because it links to the Perennial edition.




Review #2

Brand New

This product came withing 2 weeks. It was affordable compared to school cost and it is brand new!!




Review #3

Brilliant work of eternal messages clothed in the drama of time and place

Indeed a great read! A coming of age story in existential prose and sensibilities. I have made it a point to read at least 3 great novels every year. I'm a nutrition and exercise practitioner functioning within an evolutionary context, so I tend to read literature related to my work---nutrition, rehab, exercise, biology and anthropology. My 3 or 4 books of fiction are to feed my soul and to reconnect with my humanistic past (I have degrees in Philosophy and Religion as I wanted to be a professor years ago). In 2009 this was the first literary work I read and it was such a joy. It's short read and gets right to it. It definitely has a strong autobiographical current (a kind of existential catharsis), which in some ways makes it more compelling in the virtues it extols. I love books about journeys of the spirit and this is a classic. It contains a strong moral character without being obnoxiously ideological. Quite the contrary, it contains a rich soulful taste.
