Über diesen Titel

Mist fills the Himalayan valleys, and monsoon rain sweeps across the hills. Sometimes, during the day, a bird visits me - a deep purple whistling thrush. She perches on the windowsill and looks out with me at the rain.' This personal diary records the many small moments that constitute a life of harmony - with the self, the natural world, and friends, family and passersby. In these hours, we watch a wild plum blossom and the moon come up between two deodar trees; we hear a redstart whistle and the rain drum on a tin roof; we recognize the aftermath of loss and the consolation of old companions. A Book of Simple Living is a gift of beauty and wisdom from India's most loved and most understated writer.

I enjoyed this a lot. This is a book that can be listened to again and again. Due to the narrator's soft voice with an Indian touch I am reminded of my last year's travel in Himachal Pradesh. Living on the hillside for half a century, the author knows his surroundings intimately. Fortunately for us, he is able to share his dreams, passions, and wisdom with us. The characters in this wonderful stories are flowers, trees, birds, ants and other easily overlooked wonders of the natural world that we are a part of. I feel exhilarated and truly uplifted listening to this. Highly recommended for all seasons :)

Soothing voice, great narrator, exceptional author
