Andre Morois, a classic of French literature of the XX century, novelist and essayist, a terrific polymath, author of exquisite short stories and novels, famous novelized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, Hugo, Byron and many others, the creator of in-depth sketches of the history of England, the United States, France, on the slope of years again turned to the genre of philosophical essay. "Open Letter to a Young Man on the Science of Living" (1966) is a perfect pair of his famous "Letters to a Stranger": it is an honest conversation between an eighty-year-old writer and a twenty-year-old young man. Morua discusses morality, the meaning, purpose and principles of life, education, politics, religion, marriage, writing, modernity in general - in the guise of a delicate admonition presents us with the life credo of an enlightened and thoughtful man, and his experience can teach us a lot. A collection of aphorisms and observations "The Art of Conversation" (1927) is devoted to the ability to conduct a conversation, that is, to build a subtle relationship with the most mysterious phenomenon that can only meet us and which invariably vividly interested Morua - with other people.
