Description

Max Ehrmann was not afraid to express his thoughts about the evils and scandals he saw around him, and in his quest for contentment he turned to nature and the eternal passage of the seasons. This edition contains, in addition to the Desiderata, more of Max Ehrmann's writings. First published 1948.
