From modern literature to menopause, from utopian thought to rodeos - in this classic collection of essays, Ursula K. Le Guin roves with her customary audacity over the intersecting arenas of literature, feminism, and social responsibility, exploding any received notions she comes across and revealing visionary possibilities in their stead.

a generous and beautiful book
Revisado: 07-16-22
Ursula K. Le Guin’s writing is poignant and precise, honest and essential to anyone interested in literature, feminism and life in our modern world. Her essays are so beautiful, as they stand on the shoulders of literary mothers and grandmothers, lending themselves as a cornerstone from which nee generations might view the world’s beauty and cruelty, without simplifying out condition.

Ulysses is regarded by many as the single most important novel of the 20th century. It tells the story of one day in Dublin, June 16th 1904, largely through the eyes of Stephen Dedalus (Joyce's alter ego from Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) and Leopold Bloom, an advertising salesman. Both begin a normal day, and both set off on a journey around the streets of Dublin, which eventually brings them into contact with one another.

A book worth listening
Revisado: 07-08-22
I had tried to read Ulysses by James Joyce two or three times before, buying the print edition with commentaries, but failing each time and giving up about half way through.
It was then that I downloaded audible so as to try a different approach, less based on mentally dissecting each part, and more in tune with the rhythm and pulse imprinted in the language of the novel. In this way, listening to the performance of reading in the local accent and pace was a great joy and help, taking the reader on a different journey of comprehension and appreaciation.

The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.

An antidote to our distorted view of life
Revisado: 07-08-22
This book is a generous gift to humanity, as we struggle to identify true meaning and joy in our lives, suffering the consequences of living a disconnected and empty existence.
The dialogue between the two spiritual leaders (Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu) is a powerful antidote to our distorted contemporary view which dictates that joy is achieved by climbing a social ladder. Far from it, the book reveals that joy is a by-product of practices such as generosity, compassion and gratitude, all of which are to be expressed in community.

Disarmingly personal and intensely philosophical, Report to Greco is a fictionalized account of Greek philosopher and writer Nikos Kazantzakis’ own life, a sort of intellectual autobiography that leads listeners through his wide-ranging observations on everything from the Hegelian dialectic to the nature of human existence, all framed as a report to the Spanish Renaissance painter El Greco.

Profoundly beautiful
Revisado: 07-01-22
Beyond being a work of art, this is the kind of book that makes you feel glad you are alive, due o its fearfully raw honesty and beauty. It changes one´s perspective on life, encompassing the cry of the world inside its chapters and carefully crafted words. For what would be the point of beauty if it is to leave the suffering of the world on the background? This is the only way to write without being irresponsible and deaf to the human cry.
The reading by Joshua Saxon makes the book comes to life with high depth and intensity, although I recommend following with the written word (Kindle), and pausing from time to time to let it all sink in.
