Synopsis

Lunch with Diogenes combines the spoken wisdom of Diogenes, the Greek Philosopher who lived more than two thousand years ago, with the furry wisdom of Diogenes, a rescue mutt with the heart of a philosopher. It is an intertwined tale of the wise sayings of this Greek Philosopher, illustrated by photographs of the Philosopher Dog, Diogenes and the parallels between them that lead us to discover ancient truths, more relevant than ever for our lives today. The illustrations are "wise, funny, poignant, and remarkably contemporary...Diogenes will steal your heart" (The Literary Hill Book Review, Hill Rag magazine, May, 2012). It is the perfect gift book for friends, family, lunch pals, and colleagues, as well as the philosophers and puppies in your life.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Paris Singer has resided in Washington D.C. since 1970, where she became a professional photographer for congressional committees, journals, and travel documentaries. Her photographs of Washington D.C. during the day of 9/11 are part of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's collection, "September 11: Bearing Witness to History." Diogenes was rescued from a trailer where he had been chained and abandoned, leaving him so flea-bitten he was hairless. Since his rescue, he has grown into a true "cynic" in the best, and original, meaning of that term: tasting everything for himself and living an authentic life in accordance with Nature. Now that he is old enough to drink, he is preparing for his next literary appearance: Cocktails with Diogenes. Paris' and Diogenes' co-author, Adam Russell, is a Rhodes Scholar and rugby player, who along with his wife, Bartlett, rescued Diogenes. When he and Bartlett first met the abandoned puppy and saw him trying to lift a stick three times his size, they knew a fellow "warrior-poet" when they saw one.
