“In the Autumn of Life: Selected Essays” By Hermann Heuvers / Edited by Mikio Hayashi Publisher: Shunjusha Price: 1,800 yen (including tax: 1,980 yen) ~Product Description~ A masterpiece that quietly questions the essence of life. Crossing the boundaries of faith and culture, this book continues to resonate with the hearts of many. "What is the best deed in this world?" —To grow old with a joyful heart, to want to work but rest, to want to speak but be silent, to hope when despairing, to be obedient and calm, and to bear one's own cross. As symbolized by this poem, this book offers words of comfort and compassion to those in the mature stage of life. From the Preface: "In the autumn of life, one wants to leave something good in the world. One wants to sow the good seeds of the heart that have been sown from time to time, widely in the fields and mountains." This is a recommended collection of essays for those who want to reflect on life at their own pace.
