When Mitch Albom hears on television that his old college
professor, Morrie Schwartz, is dying of a neurological disease, he
goes to visit him and ends up taking what he refers to as 'our last
class' - the subject of this book. The professor embarks on a
series of Tuesday studies, decanting the wisdom of his years for
the benefit of Albom. Together, the pair talk about death, regrets,
money, family, feeling sorry for yourself, marriage, culture and
forgiveness. With little resort to feel-good phrases or soppy
truisms, Albom presents the relationship through dialogue, in
seminars and in 'audio-visual' excerpts which makes the sadness of
his teacher's passing all the more poignant. (Kirkus UK)
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher or a colleague. Someone
older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and
searching, and gave you sound advice to help you make your way
through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his
college professor from nearly 20 years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you
lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights
faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger
questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance.
He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life.
Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease - Morrie
visited Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back
in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final
"class": lessons in how to live. This is a chronicle of their time
together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the
world.
