I wrote this textbook thinking about Gustave Flaubert`s, a French writer`s, novel Sentimental Education (1896). Civil education is impossible without thought or action, neither without feelings or their nurturing.


One becomes a citizen only by training himself or herself in the spirit of community, social skills, respect to others, locality and tolerance. Without common feelings and memories the connection and relationships between people are impossible. The book is based on classical subjects; I wanted to emphasize how love, friendship, patriotism and freedom create a personality bound to his or her state, respecting and protecting own and others` freedom and dignity, community and European values. This is a textbook about feelings, which train the citizen and create civil society.
