Krátky popis
STANFORDS BOOK OF THE MONTH - JANUARY 2023'Nothing less than a
guided tour of the human soul' Elizabeth Gilbert'In elegant and
ecstatic prose, Pico Iyer uncovers our wonderful capacity for hope'
Katherine MayOne of our most perceptive travel writers embarks on
an exploration of the world's holiest places and where we might
find paradise on Earth. It's so easy, I thought, to place Paradise
in the past or the future - anywhere but here. After half a century
of travel, from Ethiopia to Tibet, from Belfast to Jerusalem, Pico
Iyer asks himself what kind of paradise can ever be found in a
world of unceasing conflict.In a spectacular journey, both inward
and outward, Iyer roams from crowded mosques in Iran to a film
studio in North Korea, from a holy mountain in Japan to the
sometimes spooky emptiness of the Australian outback. At every
stop, he makes connections with unexpected strangers - mystics and
taxi drivers and fellow travellers - and draws on his own memories,
of time spent in a Benedictine monastery high above the Pacific, of
regular travels with the Dalai Lama, of hearing his late mother
speak of sunlit moments in pre-Partition India. By the end, he has
upended many of our expectations and dared to suggest that we can
find paradise right in the heart of our angry, confused and divided
world.
