THE HAPPY LIFE: THE SEARCH FOR CONTENTMENT IN THE MODERN WORLD
Book ID/图书代码： 01899510B43881
English Summary/英文概要： In this elegant treatise, David Malouf returns to one of the most fundamental questions and gives it a modern twist: what makes for a happy life?
With grace and profundity, Malouf discusses new and old ways to talk about contentment and the self. In considering the happy life – what it is, and what makes it possible – David Malouf returns to the ’highest wisdom’ of the classics, looks at how, thanks to Thomas Jefferson’s way with words, happiness became a ’right’, and examines joy in the flesh as depicted by Rubens and Rembrandt. In a world become ever larger and impersonal, he finds happiness in an unlikely place. The Happy Life is writing to savour and reflect upon by one of Australia’s greatest novelists.
This edition includes responses to The Happy Life by leading commentators, including Robert Dessaix, Anne Manne, Elizabeth Farrelly and Tim Soutphommasane.
