Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a defense of solitude, arguing it is a place of discovery rather than isolation. The author acknowledges the perils of solitude, but asserts that by embracing it, people find their thoughts, their minds, and even the Divine. Drawing heavily on history, philosophy, religion, and literature, the author makes the case that solitude restores frayed nerves, elevates the mind, and nurtures genius. The result is a work filled with quotable maxims and witty parables that support the pursuit of solitude as a practice that can enhance one's life, instead of diminishing it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
