<h2><font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>About The Book:
</b></font> After his recovery, he discarded the pages he had
written, and with a new sense of urgency, wrote this book, turning to
some of the greatest thinkers and writers of the Western world to
understand where and how to find meaning.Where Shall Wisdom Be Found? Is
Bloom s most inspiring book yet. Through comparisons of the Book of
Job and Ecclesiastes, Plato and Homer, Cervantes and Shakespeare,
Montaigne and Bacon, Johnson and Goethe, Emerson and Nietzsche, Freud and
Proust, and finally discussions of the Gospel of Thomas and Saint
Augustine, he distills for us the various and even contrary forms of
wisdom that have shaped our thinking.</h2><br>
