Life is Beautiful
From the Preface: "Life is Beautiful is a tribute to old-fashioned virtues and a modest antidote to the growing decadence in modern society. It is a response to the shabbiness and sham of a cynical age that scoffs at virtue and nobility.... which makes blood brothers carping adversaries and children monsters.... that rewards greed and glibness.... that tells us that the only mantra that holds meaning is success..... that the only value left is money and everything else is peripheral."
