One of the bestselling authors of Plato and a Platypus travels to Greece with a suitcase full of philosophy books, seeking the best way to achieve a fulfilling old age Daniel Klein journeys to the Greek island Hydra to discover the secrets of aging happily. Drawing on the lives of his Greek friends, as well as philosophers ranging from Epicurus to Sartre, Klein learns to appreciate old age as a distinct and extraordinarily valuable stage of life. He uncovers simple pleasures that are uniquely available late in life, as well as headier pleasures that only a mature mind can fully appreciate. A travel book, a witty and accessible meditation, and an optimistic guide to living well, Travels with Epicurus is a delightful jaunt to the Aegean and through the terrain of old age led by a droll philosopher. A perfect gift book for the holidays, this little treasure is sure to please longtime fans of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar and garner new ones, young and old
Daniel Klein is the coauthor (with Thomas Cathcart) of the international bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar and Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates. The author or coauthor of thirty other books, including The Half-Jewish Book, the Elvis Presley mystery series (Kill Me Tender, Blue Suede Clues), and the award-winning novel The History of Now, Klein holds a degree in philosophy from Harvard University and lives in Western Massachusetts with his wife, Freke Vuijst.
读到的另一本好书,关于希腊哲学家Epicurus的享乐主义,不过全文看来更像是老年幸福论,因为倡导老年才是人生巅峰,因为有智慧的人老来不再心猿意马,能像小孩子一样沉浸在纯粹的快乐中(友谊、游戏、无功利心的好奇探索...)。故事发生在爱琴海的Hydra岛上,雪白的屋子、石子铺成的小路、不紧不慢的岛民生活和美妙的希腊菜肴,也让我重温Tinos的旅程。疫情影响之下足不出户,也有神往之的乐趣。
评分在苏黎世转机为了消磨时间而买,没想到看了大半年。是随时拾起来看都会有新意的书,在二十岁末看讲面对退休日子的思考依然觉得很有启发。
