“Anam Ċara. Celtic Wisdom" is a book about life and at the same time a book of life. Irish poet, philosopher, priest John O'Donoghue - a bearer, not a researcher of Celtic culture - like the "soul friend", anam ċara, knows more about us and the world around us than we do ourselves. Alternating between prose and poetry, he “rediscovers” life that has become invisible today, far from haste, automatism, cliches and destruction of the “real self.” Friendship, love, sincerity, the ability to look and see, listen and hear, perceive every morning as a gift and the joy of discovery, become wise and not be afraid - these are just a few of the motives of the book. This is a text that you want to parse into quotes, share it and return to it endlessly so as not to forget “how to live.” Recommended to all lovers of “slow” - so rare now - reading with pleasure.
