THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON THAT HAS TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF OVER 9 MILLION READERS
'Mitch Albom sees the magical in the ordinary' Cecelia Ahern
Don't miss Mitch Albom's new novel, Twice, out now - a beautiful and heartbreaking exploration of lost loves and second chances
__________
As a young man, Mitch Albom was lucky enough to meet a formative mentor: the beloved college professor Morrie Schwartz. Morrie was a wise and patient figure whose thoughtful advice helped his students navigate the world.
Over the next twenty years, the two men lost touch and those precious insights faded. Then Mitch discovered Morrie was dying. Given an unexpected second chance to connect, he returned to Morrie's study every Tuesday, just as he had in college. Their rekindled friendship became one final 'class': lessons in how to live.
Tuesdays with Morrie is the magical chronicle story of their final months together and a timeless meditation on life, love, loss and grief.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
As a student at Brandeis University in the late 1970s, Albom was especially drawn to his sociology professor, Morris Schwartz. On graduation he vowed to keep in touch with him, which he failed to do until 1994, when he saw a segment about Schwartz on the TV program Nightline, and learned that he had just been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. By then a sports columnist for the Detroit Free Press and author of six books, including Fab Five, Albom was idled by the newspaper strike in the Motor City and so had the opportunity to visit Schwartz in Boston every week until the older man died. Their dialogue is the subject of this moving book in which Schwartz discourses on life, self-pity, regrets, aging, love and death, offering aphorisms about each--e.g., "After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left." Far from being awash in sentiment, the dying man retains a firm grasp on reality. An emotionally rich book and a deeply affecting memorial to a wise mentor, who was 79 when hedied in 1995.
