A new translation by Sergio E. Serrano of this inspirational book containing sound advice on the art of living by the French historian, biographer, and philosopher, Andr Maurois (1885 - 1967), who was one of the most celebrated and prolific writers of the 20th century.
According to Maurois, our lives are works of art, expressions of inner beauty, conceived and created by our inner selves, tested by the circumstances and experiences of life, perfected and modified by the learning and growth resulting from these experiences.
Maurois accurately predicted:
An Art of Living remained out of print for several decades. This new translation resurrects this little treasure of a book for the English readers of today; it remains faithful to the original French edition and to the style of the author.
INDEPENDENT REVIEWS
"...Reading this book of essays on the phases of life (The Art of Thinking, of Loving, of Working, of Leading and of Growing Old, with a brief chapter on The Art of Dying and a concluding 'Letter to Young Men') is rather like having a frank discussion with a worldly-wise uncle seeking to impart his hard-won wisdom ... The book is beautifully illustrated, and Maurois accompanies his essays with abundant historical examples and carefully selected quotations from famous historical figures ... I highly recommend this book for it's insights and readability; it's like reading a twentieth century Montaigne." Mark Johnson. Goodreads.
