The most translated book in the world after the Bible. Considered one of the books that best reveals the Christian ideal, this work has become a classic over the centuries, and is still one of the most read and translated religious books after the Bible. Containing instructions to renounce worldly vanities in favor of the search for eternal truths. Imitation of Christ is a guide to devotion and contemplation, divided into four parts: advice for spiritual life, on the inner life, of inner consolation and of the sacrament. Thomas à Kempis, the author, was inspired by his meditative experience as a monk, in medieval mystical writings and in the Bible, to write this guide to the inner life that seeks a higher spiritual existence.
Thomas à Kempis was a German-Dutch Catholic canon regular of the Augustinians and the author of The Imitation of Christ, one of the best known Christian devotional books. His name means "Thomas of Kempen", Kempen, Germany, being his home town.
