Here is a rare feast of stories, impressions, and observations from a writer known for his honesty and passionate pursuit of the question: what does it mean to be human? Carefully chosen excerpts from many of his previous books and over a dozen new drawings are among the treasures you'll find. This anthology collects the best of Franck's observations on the 20th century-from his meetings with Pope John XXIII and the Dalai Lama to his work with Albert Schweitzer, from the streets of New York to the ancient temples of Japan. At 91 he continues to be actively engaged. November.
