Hombres No Son Islas, Los - Paperback

by Nuccio Ordine (Author)

Based on John Donne's famous meditation, Nuccio Ordine expands his "ideal library" by inviting us to read--and reread--more selected pages of universal literature. Convinced that a brilliant quote can arouse the reader's curiosity and encourage them to read the work from which it came, Ordine continues his defense of the classics, showing that literature is essential to foster understanding and compassion among people. In a time marked by individualism, terrible social and economic inequalities, fear of the "outsider" and racism, these pages invite us to understand that "living for others" is an opportunity to give meaning to our lives.
