” Once in while you find a book that you simply can’t put down. A book that exposes you to emotions you never knew existed and leaves you with a heightened sense of optimism and enlightenment. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom is that kind of book. A moving account of life and death. It documents albom’s real life relationhip with Morrie Schwartz, a sociology professor at Brandeis University and a man of unusual insight and courage.
After a sixteen-year separation from his teacher and mentor, the author returns to find Morrie dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease, a painful illness that “melts your nerves and leaves your body a pile of wax”. humbled by Morrie’s condition and the reawakened memories of his active, passionate professor, Albom visits each Tuesday. He brings cartons of food and a heart willing to recieve Morrie’s final lessons on the search for personal fulfillment and individualism.
Even as his health gradually deteriorates, Morrie displays a refreshingly upbeat perspective on life and a passion for knowledge, which he imparts to Albom, his class of one. Each Tuesday is a lesson in The Meaning of Life, examining life and death, forgiveness and family. “Once you learn how to die you learn how to live,” Morrie assures Albom.
Morrie’s determined spirit and concern for others,poignantly captured in Albom’s beautifully descriptive writing, make the reader feel the lossof the deeply empathetic soul. But while the inevitable ending could leave the reader depressed, Albom manages to examine the sorrowful topic of death with an uplifting, even humorous touch. Morrie describes himself as the bridge between the living and the dead. “People want me to tell them what to pack,” he remarks
Albom’s conversations with the aging Morrie alternate with Morrie’s younger self, including conversations they had while Albom was a college student, and anecdotes from Morrie’s life. This nostalgic device lightens the tone and allows readers to feel they, too, have been affected by Morrie’s teaching.
Using his gift for memory and detail, Albom seamlessly translates his personal experiences into universal human emotions. Tuesdays with Morrie is not simply a story of one man’s death, but rather a tribute to the wisdom of techers and the eloquence of old age. Morrie’s request for the message on his tombstone could not be more accurate: “A teacher to the Last.”■
