About this ebook
A thought-provoking examination of the complex teacher-student relationship, from one of the great minds of the modern literary world
Based on George Steiner's extensive experience as a teacher, Lessons of the Masters is a passionate examination of the "profession of the professor." He writes about what empowers one person to teach another, and explores the complexities and nuances of this bond. From the charismatic master to the loving disciple, Steiner explores the religious, philosophical, economic, and scientific aspects of imparting knowledge, drawing upon history's most famous teachers: Socrates, Jesus, Faust, Virgil, Dante, Heloise, and Abelard.
