Description: Daniel Klein was in his seventies when his dentist said he'd need a denture plate, implants, and major restrictions in what he could eat. Instead, he headed to a Greek island to see if one of his favorite philosophers, Epicurus, could teach him something about the pleasures available only later in life. Travels with Epicurus is a travel book, a witty and accessible meditation, and an optimistic guide to living well.
