Nobility of spirit : a forgotten ideal / Rob Riemen ; translated by Marjolijn de Jager ; foreword by George Steiner.
In the pages of this slim, powerful book Rob Riemen argues with passion that "nobility of spirit" is the quintessence of a civilized world. It is, as Thomas Mann believed, the sole corrective for human history. Without nobility of spirit, culture vanishes.
