“This new compilation of excerpts from Frithjof Schuon's letters not only reminds us again of the timeless truths expounded in all his writings, but provides us with a more intimate understanding of his own heroic journey and his vocation as a spiritual guide—an abiding inspiration for all wayfarers.”

– Harry Oldmeadow, author of Frithjof Schuon and the Perennial Philosophy

“This is an extraordinary anthology of letters, offering a rare glimpse into the inner life and teachings of a remarkable man. . . . As in his books, Schuon's writing in his letters is often aphoristic and his ideas are distilled and clear, filled with wisdom.”

– Ali Lakhani, editor of Sacred Web: A Journal of Tradition and Modernity

“Michael Fitzgerald has previously undertaken the daunting task of writing a comprehensive biography of Frithjof Schuon. . . . To this, Fitzgerald now adds the present volume dedicated exclusively to [Schuon's] letters written over the course of more than seventy years. The combination of these two volumes . . . give as accurate a picture as can be conveyed by words concerning a person of Frithjof Schuon's scope.”

– Catherine Schuon, editor of Art from the Sacred to the Profane: East and West

“Schuon's enlightening and inspiring letters of spiritual direction are a rare gift. We find therein an uncompromising discernment that brings human experiences and questions back to their metaphysical and spiritual roots, and a generous compassion flowing throughout.”

– Patrick Laude, Georgetown University, author of Keys to the Beyond: Frithjof Schuon’s Cross-Traditional Language of Transcendence and co-author of Frithjof Schuon: Life and Teachings
