A class is a minor work of art. This is the first lesson drawn by the author of this book after a reading of more than one hundred eminent chroniclers (writers of memoirs) on the education they received in their childhood years and their youth. Another one of his discoveries related to the power teachers hold, emerging as figures with whom a profound relationship can be struck. At the peak of the teaching profession are those teachers who freely roam wherever their personal charisma may lead. Interspersed throughout the book are observations on do's and don'ts on authority, flexibility, time, presence, the spoken work, body language... this book is a veritable compendium of pedagogical musings within a broad-ranging cultural framework.
