Mountain Paths

About this book

Maurice Maeterlinck follows questions that seem to appear when ordinary life becomes still: how should a person meet uncertainty, what can be known of death, and where might wisdom be found?

Mountain Paths gathers his philosophical reflections in a meditative voice shaped by the experience of a changing world. He often lingers over the difficulty, leaving room for uncertainty to do its own work. The essays offer thoughtful company for anyone who likes a book that leaves room for a question to remain open.
