Written by American poet, playwright and philosopher Max Ehrmann in 1927, Desiderata (Latin for 'things to be desired') is among the world's most popular poems. Much loved for its eloquent stating of those simple truths often overlooked in the busyness of everyday life, Desiderata contains a timeless message of faith, hope and charity. In an increasingly complex and sometimes frantic world Desiderata provides us with a refreshing perspective on life's bigger picture. Its formula happiness, its gentle urging to be at peace with God and life, has a universal appeal. The origins of Desiderata were for many years shrouded in mystery. Once thought to have originated in the seventeenth century it was in fact written by a humble American poet and philosopher in 1927. Desiderata later achieved fame as the anthem of sixties' hippie-dom -- the subject of many millions of posters and handbills -- and was famously narrated by Les Crane in his 1971 song version of the poem.In this new book, the poem's expressive prose is enhanced by a selection of resonant, evocative images. Also included is an informative biography of Erhmann and the history of the poem.
