A Great Short Story About the Joy of Discovery
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021
This is a beautiful short read about the beginning of a journey, how immersing yourself in a great book can open up a whole new world of meaning for you. Emerson really captures the feeling of a spark igniting the spirit, and through the narrator's personal journey we become inspired to discover more of the world and its culture and history.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2021
The central themes of this book focus on being present and mindful, and reflecting on how you fit into the bigger picture of life and history. I found myself feeling envious of the central character's contentment with the simplicity of life and his awareness of the joy of simply being part of it. It is a short read but will make you think and reflect and central message will stay with you. Highly recommend it.

Großartig
Reviewed in Germany on October 20, 2021
Ein kurzes, aber knackiges Buch über Dante, Espresso und wie sich der Mensch von Tag zu Tag, von Seite zu Seite verändern kann. Schön geschrieben und macht nachdenklich. Außerdem hat man danach ein starkes Verlangen, in Italien Espresso zu trinken und dabei den Marktplatz zu beobachten. Sehr empfehlenswert.
