the favorite classic

This edition of “The Man in Search of Meaning” by Viktor Frankl has a prologue signed by the psychologist José Benigno Freire. In it, Viktor Frankl tells us about his experience in the concentration camps. During all those years of suffering, he was able to recognize that, despite everything, life is worth living and that inner freedom and human dignity are indestructible. As a psychiatrist and a prisoner, Frankl reflects with words of surprising hope on the human capacity to transcend difficulties and discover a profound truth that guides us and gives meaning to our lives. But “The man in search of meaning” is much more than the testimony of a psychiatrist about the facts and events experienced in a concentration camp, it is an existential lesson.
