5.0 out of 5 stars The Don't Write 'em Like This Anymore, July 8, 2008

This review is from: The Cloister and the Hearth (Kindle Edition)

A leisurely, witty, erudite, philosophical, rousing romance/adventure/male bonding/road novel from a more civilized time.

I've loved it since I encountered it in college 50 years ago and just bought it for my Kindle.

Life and liberty, while safe, are little thought of: for why? they are matters of course. Endangered, they are rated at their real value. In this, too, they are like sunshine, whose beauty men notice not at noon when it is greatest, but towards evening, when it lies in flakes of topaz under shady elms. Yet it is feebler then; but gloom lies beside it, and contrast reveals its fire. &quote;
