This strange book, not belonging to any known genre (what kind of genre is this - “unusual thoughts”) was a sensational, unprecedented success in the United States. It stayed on the bestseller list for more than a year, with dozens of weeks at the very top of this publishing Olympus. For this reason alone, the book would be worth translating: it turns out that Americans like to read. However, not only Americans - an unusual work by an unusual author is now being published in many countries. When Robert Fulgham is asked what he does, he answers: I'm a philosopher, and then explains that he likes to puzzle over the most ordinary things and then express the result of his thoughts in the form of notes, or conversations, or paintings - whatever happens. He happened to be a cowboy, a singer, a traveling salesman, an artist and art teacher, a parish priest, and a bartender. And also the author of a small book that has sold millions of copies around the world. The Gospel says: “Be like children.” Perhaps, in our complicated, cruel age, this is exactly the kind of book we need: wise, simple-minded and a little sentimental. One critic wrote: “Reading Fulgham makes you a little better.” Is there a higher rating for a book?
