An intelligent, carefully researched, richly imagined novel.
Irvin D.

another excellent book of I. Yallom in which psycoanalysis and philosophy are meeting each other, through Dr. Brouer and F.Nietzsche. a proud man (nietzsche) who finally wept like the title of the book says, two men who walk together each one his path and try to set themselves free. totally recomended to all.
