A sportswriter conveys the wisdom of his late mentor, professor Morrie Schwartz, recounting their weekly conversations as Schwartz lay dying. Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final "class", lessons in how to live. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.… (mais)
Cada um de nós teve na juventude uma figura especial que, com paciência, afeto e sabedoria, nos ajudou a descobrir dimensões mais profundas e a escolher nossos caminhos com maior liberdade. Para Mitch Albom, esta pessoa foi Morrie Schwartz, seu professor na universidade. Vinte anos depois, Mitch reencontra Morrie, nos últimos meses da vida de seu velho mestre, acometido de uma doença terminal. Durante quatorze encontros, eles tratam de temas fundamentais para a felicidade e realização humana. É uma lição de esperança sobre o sentido da existência, em que a experiência e reflexão são transmitidas de forma simples e comovente, que transformou a vida do autor e, que ele quis registrar como uma dádiva de Morrie para o mundo.

“I believe in being fully present,” Morrie said. “That means you should be with the person you’re with. When I’m talking to you now, Mitch, I try to keep focused only on what is going on between us. I am not thinking about something we said last week. I am not thinking of what’s coming up this Friday. I am not thinking about doing another Koppel show, or about what medications I’m taking. I am talking to you. I am thinking about you.”

The last class of my old professor's life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink flowers. The class met on Tuesdays. No books were required. The subject was the meaning of life. It was taught by experience.
