Gedichte für ein gutes Leben

The most beautiful poems from the Eternal Well. What makes a good life can be answered in many ways. Should we seek it within ourselves, in interpersonal relationships, or in a larger whole? In love, out in the world, or in inner peace. Poets of all times have pondered this and provided their answers in a form that can itself become part of a good life. Dirk von Petersdorff has compiled around a hundred of the most beautiful German-language poems from the anthology The Eternal Well - old and new, serious and humorous, famous and surprising. All of them can help to discover how to live well. While poems are not guides and do not provide instructions, they enrich their readers, allowing them to discover something previously unknown, expanding our perspective on the world, and helping us become more complete - such is the hope contained in this small selection of poems.
