Description

Solitude face à la mer (or Gift from the Sea as it was originally titled in English) is a modern-day classic first published in 1955 that provides Anne Morrow Lindbergh's elegant and wise meditations on youth and age, love and marriage, solitude, peace, and contentment, as she set them down during a brief vacation by the ocean. She helps us see ways to reconcile our most deeply personal needs with obligations to family, friends, lovers, and work, ways to separate loneliness from replenishing solitude, and ways to find solice in the simplest of daily tasks. "A wise and beautiful book", according to Harper's magazine, it serves as a spiritual compass guiding us toward inner tranquillity in the face of life's deeper questions.
