There aren't that many books that you can truly fall in love with, but, my friend, this book is definitely one of those books, for the author's reflections within it are nothing short of ama...

Despite how short it is, it took me almost a month to finish because of this. I think I got way more out of it th...

Livre magnifique, extrêmement poétique et bourré d'enseignements. Une éclairicie de pensée, de réflexions, d'apprentissages à dévorer.

I had previously read something by him but it was a collection of really short stories so I couldn't get a proper idea of what the guy's writing was about.
