From Ethan Hawke, four-time Academy Award nominee--twice for writing and twice
for acting--an unforgettable fable about a father's journey and a timeless guide
to life's many questions.
A knight, fearing he may not return from battle, writes a letter to his children
in an attempt to leave a record of all he knows. In a series of ruminations on
solitude, humility, forgiveness, honesty, courage, grace, pride, and patience,

great spiritual and political writings of our time. His intent: to give his
children a compass for a journey they will have to make
