We will not serve coffee to Spinoza.
Author's name: Alicja Kabale
"An enjoyable novel. A journey between farewell and rebirth in the company of Pascal, Spinoza, Epicurus, and Saint Augustine. One of those life-saving books." - Luciana Letizetto
“After reading this novel, one is left with the feeling of seeing life, death, and happiness in a better light.” – Vittoria Barofaldi, La Stampa
She reads philosophers' books for him and arranges his house, and he teaches her that books can give her the ideas she needs to organize her life.
When an employment agency offers Maria a job as a housekeeper and reader for the elderly for a blind philosophy professor, she accepts without hesitation. Her marriage is on the verge of collapse, and everything around her seems to tell her that she's reached the end.
A true and different friendship develops between the professor and Maria. Maria cooks zucchini and reads to the professor from the writings of Pascal, Spinoza, Epicurus, and Saint Augustine. The professor knows how to interpret the ideas of great thinkers through the simplest of household chores, and Maria discovers the role of philosophy in everyday life. Each reading becomes a lens that gives her the ability to see clearly in blurred things and to pick up the pieces of an existence she has lost for the sake of others.
Little by little, they learn many things from their conversations, and each helps the other on his personal journey: Maria towards life, and the professor – in keeping with the order of things – towards departure.
