Rules for a Knight

From Ethan Hawke, Oscar-nominated actor and four-time Academy Award nominee—twice for screenwriting and twice for lead acting—an unforgettable fable about a father's journey and a timeless guide to life's many questions. In A Letter from Death Row, Hawke draws on the ancient teachings of Eastern and Western philosophy, as well as on the great spiritual and political writings of our time, presenting us with a series of self-exploratory ruminations in an attempt to present his children with a compass for a journey they must make alone. Providing them with a short guide to what gives life meaning and beauty, he details what he believes are the five pillars of life: solitude, humility, honesty, courage, and forgiveness.
