Summary: As an inmate of the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II, Viktor E. Frankl tried his best to think positively about life and attempted to search for its ultimate meaning. It is this quest of his that Frankl has chronicled in his Holocaust autobiography, Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning. The entire text attempts to answer one important question, that dealt with how everyday life in the concentration camps affected prisoners. In trying to answer this question, the author has divided the book into two parts with Part One dealing with his own experiences at the harrowing camps. Part Two, on the other hand, focuses on his ideas of life and a theory known as logotherapy. In Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning, the author has delved deep into the ways of thinking that helped him survive and find the true meaning of life against all odds. By touching upon the concepts of life and death, suffering and faith, the author explains that if one can find the ultimate meaning of life, then life itself would offer much more that anyone could imagine. Insightful and reflective, Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning was first published in 1946 in German. This volume has been published by RHUK in 2011 and is available as a paperback. Key Features: Hailed as the one of the ten most influential books in the United States, Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning has sold more than 10 million copies. It has also been translated into 24 different languages.
