How to be happy in an imperfect world? Parece ser a resposta a esta questão que pode ser encontrada no livro Love, Life, Goethe de John Armstrong que foi adquirido hoje mesmo pela minha pessoa e do qual já foram lidas algumas páginas. Fiquei imediatamente interessada no seu conteúdo e, por isso, terei de empreender num esforço para conciliar a leitura deste com a dos de Alberoni e Rougemont.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is often remembered only as a figure of literary genius, with little relevance to the way we live today. Yet Goethe was driven by much more than the desire for literary success: he wanted (much the same as us) to live life well. In "Love, Life, Goethe", John Armstrong subtly and imaginatively explores the ways that we can learn from Goethe, whether in love, suffering, friendship or family. At the centre of this project is happiness: in an imperfect world, how can we live well with what we have, and accept what we haven't? From our lives at home, to our relationships, the politicians we choose, and our relationship with money, John Armstrong explores the main themes of our lives through the life of Goethe, and helps us learn how to live.
