- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Profound story with a deep spiritual meaning. A great recommend.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Whether you read this as historical fiction or a tale of spiritual growth, it is an engrossing book. Beginning ine 1870 Russia, we follow the life story of Sergei Ivanov, nicknamed Socrates. Half Jewish, he is raised by his military uncle, completely isolated from any Jewish contacts after the death of his parents. Since Jews are persecuted, it likely ensures his safety, as does the survival and military training her receives. The explanation in the last chapter completely scrambled my perceptions of the author. This is the 3rd book of his I've read. Millman has found a way to write interestingly about how to integrate values into one's life. I'll be getting more of his books because the lessons don't get outdated. I read this to my autistic son and it helped him control his behavioral challenges, tho I had to skip some of the sections on Zakolyev--I found those reinforced his anger and inability to cope.
