Review:
Meh. Flowery language and often self contradictory. A Bible prophecy/poetry knockoff.
Greeting card or minion quote philosophy mostly.
The writing is fairly good, but I bet it is better in the original version. I say that because I am not sure what translation my version was.
This appeals to farty white yoga women. “Quote a little at a dinner party and impress your friends!”
I’m sure the author was a fine fellow, but in 1923 he probably decided to cash in on the craze for eastern philosophy and “old” wisdom. Why not?
This book made me want to: eat a donair. Super with white cheese and those pickled turnips. Maybe fries with garlic sauce on the side. Maybe one for later on, too.
