I really wanted today all day for the exams in January learn, but when I picked up yesterday at the bookstore two new books for next semester (developmental psychology), I also discovered another book by Yalom. And so I fell today, with cappuccino, a glass full of gummy bears, prepared freshly squeezed orange juice and several vanilla candles in the waters of my bathtub. In the background from the living room, I heard Pink Floyd and began to read.
connects Although Bob (Robert L. Berger ) and Irv (Irvin D. Yalom ) a long friendship, and yet Bob never tells a lot about how he as a teenager, the whole family was murdered, alone survived the Holocaust in Hungary. But as Bob in the 50th anniversary of its approval Irv took his arm and pulled to the side should change that. Later in the reader follows the conversation between Bob and Irv on said anniversary celebration and it will witness how much the present can still shaking after decades at the gates of the past.
wept Compared to the other books I've read by Yalom ( The Schopenhauer Cure , Nietzsche , Existential Psychotherapy , Love's Executioner , The Panama Hat , the trip with Paula), this book is neither novel nor reference book. Rather, it appears the sketch or template of a novel to be. Thus, neither the individual figures, to refine the circumstances in detail. Also, there is only one plot line of the conversation, is for what looked back at the past. All the writing skills that distinguish Yalom otherwise actually find so little use here.
And yet it is somehow consistent, because what Yalom describes seems very real - probably because it was seen as real by the parties. Certainly could have been a novel about this The core voltage increased or takes the reader more in the past. And is still, after reading the book I clearly think why Yalom has chosen this path. The reality of the events (the way I tried on several occasions to Frankl recalls descriptions ) stands for itself
