. "A deeply moving account of courage and wisdom, shared by an inveterate mentor looking into the multitextured face of his own death. There is much to be learned by sitting in on this final class.". "All of the saints and Buddhas have taught us that wisdom and compassion are one. Now along comes Morrie, who makes it perfectly plain. His living and dying show us the way.". [Editor's note: This program, originally recorded in 1997, has been updated with a new introduction.]--TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE inspired readers with Morrie Schwartz's insightful and compelling outlook on life. The book has been re-released on audio with a new introduction by author Mitch Albom, a sportswriter and radio host whose reading captures the essence of Schwartz. Although the new introduction adds little, the bestseller remains a thought-provoking chronicle of Schwartz's struggle with Lou Gehrig's disease. Albom's reading superbly balances his emotional attachment to Schwartz with the need to avoid sounding overly sentimental. While Albom's delivery could not be better, perhaps the most important reason to listen is the actual recordings of Schwartz replayed at the end of the book. They demonstrate that, although a book can capture words, only the tape recorder can fully capture the person behind the words. D.J.S.

August 18, 1997
As a student at Brandeis University in the late 1970s, Albom was especially drawn to his sociology professor, Morris Schwartz. On graduation he vowed to keep in touch with him, which he failed to do until 1994, when he saw a segment about Schwartz on the TV program Nightline, and learned that he had just been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. By then a sports columnist for the Detroit Free Press and author of six books, including Fab Five, Albom was idled by the newspaper strike in the Motor City and so had the opportunity to visit Schwartz in Boston every week until the older man died. Their dialogue is the subject of this moving book in which Schwartz discourses on life, self-pity, regrets, aging, love and death, offering aphorisms about each--e.g., "After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left." Far from being awash in sentiment, the dying man retains a firm grasp on reality. An emotionally rich book and a deeply affecting memorial to a wise mentor, who was 79 when hedied in 1995.

Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson by Mitch Albom (2002)

In this touching and thought-provoking story about compassion, love and forgiveness, Mitch Albom, a Detroit Free Press journalist and author, recounts his weekly visits with a dying mentor and friend - his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Caught up in the upper ranks of sports journalism and having forgotten most of his mentor's valuable lessons, Mitch turns on the television one night to discover Morrie's condition. As a result, the former teacher and student get in touch, agreeing to meet every Tuesday for one final class: a lesson in how to live.

Finally available in paperback--the first runaway #1 bestseller and modern inspirational classic by the bestselling author of The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Albom tells the story of his reconnection with his college professor and mentor, Morrie Schwartz, and their visits in the months prior to Morrie's death.

Der Soziologieprofessor Morrie Schwartz erfährt, dass er höchstens noch zwei Jahre zu leben hat. Die Diagnose, eine schwere Erkrankung des Nervensystems, lässt keine Hoffnung auf Heilung. Statt darüber zu verzweifeln und sich ganz in sich selbst zurückzuziehen, macht Morrie es sich zur Aufgabe, seine letzten Monate so sinnvoll und produktiv wie möglich zu verbringen. Während er den schleichenden Verfall seines Körpers erlebt, sprüht sein Geist vor Ideen. Sein Leben war immer vom Mitgefühl für andere bestimmt, und auch jetzt möchte er andere Menschen an seiner Erfahrung Teil haben lassen: an seiner Lebenserfahrung ebenso wie an der Erfahrung, dem Tod entgegen zu gehen, die ihn viele neue Einsichten über das Leben gewinnen lässt. Den Kontakt zu seinem Lieblingsprofessor hatte der erfolgreiche Sportjournalist Mitch Albom eigentlich aufrecht erhalten wollen. Sechzehn Jahre nach seinem Collegeabschluss erfährt er durch Zufall von Morries schwerer Krankheit und stattet dem alten Herrn einen Besuch ab. Ein Pflichttermin in dem prall gefüllten Kalender des Journalisten, der im Laufe der Zeit seine Träume gegen ein gut bezahltes Leben im fünften Gang eingetauscht hatte. Mitch verlässt das Haus tief beeindruckt von der Gelassenheit, ja sogar Heiterkeit, mit der Morrie seine Krankheit erlebt und seinem Tod entgegensieht - dieser feiert zum Beispiel seine Beerdigung zu Lebzeiten, um die Trauer und die ihm gebührende Anerkennung persönlich zu erfahren. Durch einen Streik an seiner Arbeit gehindert und zum Nachdenken gebracht, macht sich Mitch ein zweites Mal und schließlich regelmäßig jeden Dienstag auf den Weg zu seinem wiedergefundenen Professor. So beginnt der letzte gemeinsame Kurs. Die Gesprächsthemen zwischen Lehrer und Schüler berühren die fundamentalen Fragen unseres Daseins: Es geht um das Leben und seinen Sinn, das Sterben, die Liebe, den Erfolg, Gefühle wie Reue und Selbstmitleid, Familie, das Älterwerden ... Mitch Albom begeisterte mit seinen Büchern »Dienstags bei Morrie« und »Die fünf Menschen, die dir im Himmel begegnen« weltweit unzählige Leserinnen und Leser. Seine Bücher wurden in 36 Sprachen übersetzt und waren Nummer-1-Bestseller. Er lebt mit seiner Frau Janine in Detroit.
