Tuesdays with Morrie

by Mitch Albom

2008 first published English Memoir 210 pages 1 edition

Maybe it was a grandparent, a teacher or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and impassioned, helped you to see the world as a more profound place and gave you sound advice to guide your way through it. For Mitch Albom, it was Morrie Schwartz, the college professor who had taught him nearly twenty years before. Perhaps, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as the years passed, the insights faded and the world seemed colder. Mitch Albom got that second chance, rediscovering Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final 'class': lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together.
