| Description: |
Offers an oasis of stability and calm in which you can find answers to your fundamental concerns about life and happiness. |
| Synopsis: |
Happiness, as two great masters of literature and thought explain to us, is neither a privilege of the few, nor a fleeting state of mind: it is hidden behind a door that every person can open once they have found it, at the end of an arduous journey of self-discovery. The two Nobel Prize-winning writers Rabindranath Tagore and Hermann Hesse are arguably very different: one comes to us from the core of Indian culture, the other from the very heart of Old Europe; the former is an eternal wanderer, the latter a determined armchair traveler. Still, there are extraordinary affinities between their works, and they both understood that the path to happiness is paved with small acts and simple notions. |
