Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-06 00:00:00 Luca Corvi The book is written by Tolstoy so what can one presume except sheer brilliance. The book comprises of four short stories each having unforgettable lessons and deep meanings of life. What Men live by "I have learnt that all men live not by care for themselves but by love". Three Questions "Remember then: there is only one time that is important- Now!" The coffee-house of Surat "The higher the man's conception of God, the better he will know Him. And the better he knows God, the nearer will he draw to Him, imitating His goodness, His mercy, and His love of man". How much land does a man need? "Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed".

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-05 00:00:00 Timothy Cardoso The tales "What Men Live by" and "How Much Land Does a Man Need", which I already read earlier in its own book, really got me. Very thoughtful and philosophical as I expected.
