Against the backdrop of a warm spring day, author Karl Ove Knausgard writes to his newborn daughter in the form of letters, reflecting on the hardships he and his family have endured—his partner’s depression, the responsibilities of raising a child, and the glimmers and fractures of everyday life. With keen insight, he captures the rawness and fragility of existence, infusing the most ordinary moments with deep philosophical reflection, and exploring how growth, responsibility, and love take root in adversity. Amid the shifting light and shadows of spring, Knausgard reminds us that even in the most difficult times, spring will inevitably arrive, and life will continue to grow.

The Essential Rumi
ChaoXing eBook
Rumi, hailed as one of the greatest Sufi poets in the world, weaves verses that transcend time, touching the deepest longings and contemplations of the human soul. In this collection, he uses simple yet powerful language to explore the essence of love and existence, depicting the growth and journey of the soul. His words brim with a longing for the mystical realm while also revealing a profound understanding of the tangible world, much like the abundant fruits on a springtime tree, each carrying the sweetness of wisdom.
Let Rumi’s poetry guide us, in springtime, to encounter ourselves, the world, and love.
