Simplicity of Life

By Edna Guttmann

Simplicity of Life is about stories of ordinary people related to events of the past, present, and future. The reminiscence of past represents ideas reflected in the personage engaged in this modern, turbulent time; the present, unnoticed by the speed of information, is captured and forgotten in seconds; the future is predicted by the way imagination enters in each. The subject of this book, by being remote, simple, and romantic, may intimidate eyes to catch sight of those tough and demanding times in which courageous people lived. It also intends to convey the message that life is brief and nature is here to treasure.
