SynopsisMaybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class": lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The blockbuster book that is one of the top-selling memoirs of all time and is the basis for the Emmy Award-winning film and stage adaptations that have been produced continuously worldwide since 2002 * An unforgettable story of friendship, the timeless wisdom of older generations, and healing lessons on loss and grief "A wonderful book, a story of the heart told by a writer with soul."-- Los Angeles Times "The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."

Condition not accurate
I bought this book as a christmas gift for my mother, who loves reading, and has made it clear she doesn’t care if we get her used books as long as its in good condition. Personally, my price range is limited but when i saw this i was excited because it was very cheap and the description said “Very good - has been read but looks new”. Seemed like a steal until i got it. if i were selling this book i would label it as FAIR condition. it was a hardcover, and the book jacket was stained and disgusting looking, along with the spine showing the pages, as if someone spilt something on it. like i said, i knew the book was used & i expected some minor wear & tear, but i dont think it should have been considered VERY GOOD condition when it was clearly only FAIR. Unhappy and will probably have to remove the jacket when I give the gift because its a little embarrassing.

I love Mitch Albom’s writing style. He uses very few words to paint broad pictures.
I can make it simple. The product stank like a seven-day-old in a septic tank. I don’t know where the seller stored the book, but that place should be condemned by law. After I opened the package, not only did the putrid smell pour out like the explosion of a newly active volcanos, but the offensive fragrance lingered for several days. I live in a room less than the size of a prison cell. I don’t need help making it smell bad. I work every day to make it smell good. I sprayed the product with Lysol, but not so much as to spoil the the print. To this day, whiffs of it’s odorous being exist in my home.

Tuesdays with Morrie
I saw the author being interviewed on TV, when Tuesdays with Morrie was mentioned. I missed it when it was so popular in the 1990s, so wanted to catch up.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
