Amador

In a series of letters to his son, the renowned Spanish philosopher delivers sage advice on living an ethical life in today’s world.

One of Europe’s foremost ethicists, Fernando Savater presents a deeply personal inquiry into the art of living well—one addressed to his own teenage son, Amador. In a series of personal letters, Savater encourages his son to recognize his own agency and use it responsibly, to think freely, and to make decisions that are both well-reasoned and empathetic. Amador is a heartfelt and enlightening primer for modern life, and an inspiration for any parent wishing to impart wisdom to their children.
