The Steps of Life, Further Essays on Happiness (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Steps of Life, Further Essays on Happiness Happiness is ever plain and open to all, yet not all who have seen it succeed in really finding it. Like poor Pliable in the Pil grim's Progress, they turn back when once they have fallen into the Slough of Despond and it is they, and not those who have never tried it, who give the narrow path to genuine happiness the poor repute it has with so-called realists. Such deserters are Often highly gifted and, at first, earnest; and they are by no means always lacking in the courage need ed to seek the truth and for its sake to give up the enticing illusions of life. But on the very threshold Of that better life which alone brings peace stand two dark figures, like the guardians at the mouth of Hell in the Paradise Lost and before them even the stoutest heart trembles, and they let no man by who has not first had it out with them.

The Steps of Life, Further Essays on Happiness


Book Description

Excerpt from The Steps of Life, Further Essays on Happiness The welcome offered to the translation of Professor Hilty's "Happiness" amply justifies the translation of a second series of his essays. The same notes of tranquil reflection and keen observation, which have drawn to the earlier volumes many readers both in Europe and America, are here struck again. Professor Hilty is not a preacher, and his essays are not sermons. He is a professor of Constitutional Law, and the studies of life which these volumes represent are products of his leisure hours, wrought out of his meditation and experience. Sin and sorrow, culture and courage, a just judgment of others, a rational optimism, and a simple Christian faith - these are the "Steps of Life" up which this wise teacher mounts, and which he invites thoughtful readers to climb. Laurence Oliphant is reported to have said that what England in the nineteenth century most needed was "a spiritually minded man of the world" - a man, that is to say, who could live in the world without being subdued to that he worked in, a man who could survey and judge his world with the sanity and insight of the spiritual mind. Professor Hilty in a very exceptional degree meets this test. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
