Description
Dr. Heidegger's four elderly friends have lost all they valued as youths. Prosperity is gone, as well as health, reputation, and beauty. They re the perfect subjects for DOCTOR HEIDEGGER'S EXPERIMENT. "My dear old friends, I am desirous of your assistance in one of those little experiments with which I amuse myself here in my study," invites the doctor in this Creative Short Story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Heidegger offers each a glass of the Water of Youth. Then he directs them to remember the perils of their own youth, so they might avoid the same mistakes. When he observes them become the same passionate and reckless youngsters they once were, he concludes that one often does not learn from he past. And he himself would never trade the wisdom of age for the delirium of youth. --front flap
