Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... Cominciai a seguire l'insegnamento del Buddha dal momento in cui capii che il vero e proprio non è una religione - una fede in una Divinità e in una relazione con Essa, comunque articolata -, ma un umanesimo e, più concretamente, un sistema etico-psicologico che propone metodi pratici per raggiungere, qui e ora, la piena realizzazione delle proprie potenzialità benefiche. In Occidente, l'insegnamento del Buddha è stato più volte 'interpretato' in senso più o meno teistico: il Buddha come Dio o come sua rappresentazione/manifestazione. Ma quando mi resi conto che il Buddha (il Risvegliato) non pretendeva essere un Dio o un profeta, bensì esempio supremo di ciò che l'essere umano può diventare, mi dissi: “Questo sì che ha un senso: il Risvegliato insegna agli altri, come risvegliarsi". Questo testo vuole contribuire alla compren­sione della natura pratica e concreta dell'in­segnamento del Buddha, il cui cuore è l'esercizio meditativo. Vi sono delineate le sue caratteristiche essenziali, per offrire al lettore non specializzato un'introduzione generale, che possa incoraggiare a farne esperienza. “Nel 1972 in Sri Lanka (...) ebbi la fortuna di leggere le parole del Buddha: la spiegazione di quello che lui stesso aveva sperimentato, e di come anche altri possano arrivare alla stessa esperienza. E così scoprii la straordinaria semplicità e la profonda concretezza del sentiero di quiete e visione profonda, da lui indicato. Mi dedicai, quindi, allo studio dell'antica lingua pali e dei testi. Nel 1974 feci un corso di meditazione Vipassana con il maestro indo-birmano S.N. Goenka; questa pratica dell'insegnamento del Buddha mi convinse ad accettare la sua validità , come guida di vita, e ad impegnarmi da allora al continuativo esercizio meditativo di Vipassana. Ben sapendo che è una strada lunga, a ogni passo mi appare giusta e benefica."

Book excerpt: Le storie superbe di Wood possono essere paragonate alle fiabe italiane di Italo Calvino. Non e necessario elogiare oltre. - Carlos FuentesOltrepassando confini linguistici e culturali, queste fiabe trascendono anche dagli archi temporali convenzionali. Abbondano di paradossi temporali. - Roger-Pol Droit (Le Monde)Kalila e Dimna o La Panchatantra (anche conosciuto in Europa dal 1483 come Le Fiabe di Bidpai) e una composizione di storie sugli animali e su diversi livelli, interconnesse l'una all'altra - a volte ci sono tre o quattro 'strati' di storie. Queste composizioni contribuiscono alla letteratura mondiale da piu di 2000 anni, essendo migrate attraverso antiche culture in una moltitudine di forme, scritte e orali. Tutte le nostre favole sugli animali, da Aesop ai racconti buddhisti Jataka, da La Fontaine a Uncle Remus, devono molto a questo libro strano e mutaforme.Piu di mille anni prima di Machiavelli, le fiabe in sanscrito della Panchatantra hanno trattato l'inganno, gli imbrogli politicali, l'omicidio, i nemici, i re, i dervisci, le scimmie, i leoni, gli sciacalli, le tartarughe, le cornacchie, e il come noi tutti cooperiamo (o meno!), viviamo e moriamo insieme, o in pace o in conflitto l'uno con l'altro. Questo e un libro pieno di animali e uomini che si comportano oltraggiosamente e che fanno delle cose favolosamente terribili (e tuttavia gentili a volte) l'uno all'altro. Queste sono storie gioiose, tristi, divertenti e a volte brutali, essendo il loro scopo quello di insegnare ad entrambi il re ed il cittadino i modi e mezzi del mondo, quelle realta dure che spesso si nascondono sotto la superficie della nostra soggettivita quotidiana e comoda.La composizione originale arabica, Kalila e Dimna (La Panchatantra in sanscrito ne e il precursore) apparentemente costituisce un manuale per sovrani, un cosidetto 'Specchio per Principi,' che illustra indirettamente, attraverso una marea di storie e versi didattici, il come (e il come non!) comandare il regno della Sua vita. Con una padronanza astutamente profonda della natura umana al suo meglio (e anche alla peggio!), queste fiabe sugli animali, che di solito evitano la critica moralistica umana, offrono un saggio e pratico consiglio a tutti noi.Basato sulla suo confronto di traduzioni erudite di testi chiave in Sanscrito, Arabo e Persiano, cosi come la versione del 1570 di Sir Thomas North, questo e in assoluto il primo racconto moderno in Oriente e Occidente da oltre 400 anni. Nella versione di Ramsay Wood, i significati profondi alla base di queste fiabe brillano, proprio come egli sa cogliere un mondo classico, rendendolo nuovo, rilevante, affascinante e incredibilemente piacevole da leggere.- - - -Wood's superb stories should be set alongside Italo Calvino's retelling of the folk tales of Italy. No higher praise is necessary. - Carlos FuentesCrossing linguistic and cultural frontiers, these fables also transcend conventional time-frames. They abound with temporal paradoxes. - Roger-Pol Droit (Le Monde)Kalila and Dimna or The Panchatantra (also known in Europe since 1483 as The Fables of Bidpai) is a multi-layered, inter-connected and variable arrangement of animal stories, with one story leading into another, sometimes three or four deep. These arrangements have contributed to world literature for over 2000 years, migrating across ancient cultures in a multitude of written and oral formats. All our beast fables from Aesop and the Buddhist Jataka Tales through La Fontaine to Uncle Remus owe this strange, shape-shifting 'book' a huge debt. Over a 1000 years before Machiavelli, the Sanskrit folk tales of The Panchatantra covered deceit, political skullduggery, murder, enemies, kings, dervishes, monkeys, lions, jackals, turtles, crows and how we all cooperate (or not!), live and die together in peace or conflict. This is a book full of outrageously behaved animals and humans doing the most delightfully awful (yet sometimes gentle) things to each other. These are joyous, sad, amusing and sometimes brutal stories; their function being to educate both king and commoner alike in the ways of the world, the harsh realities that can often lurk beneath the surface of our cozy, everyday subjectivity.In its original Arabic format, Kalila and Dimna (The Panchatantra being its Sanskrit precursor), ostensibly constitutes a handbook for rulers, a so-called 'Mirror for Princes' illustrating indirectly, through a cascade of teaching stories and verse, how to (and how not to!) run the kingdom of your life. In their slyly profound grasp of human nature at its best (and worst!) these animal fables, usually avoiding any moralistic human criticism, serve up digestible sage counsel for us all. Based on his collation of scholarly translations from key Sanskrit, Syriac, Arabic and Persian texts, as well as the 1570 English rendition by Sir Thomas North, this is the first uncompromisingly modern re-telling in either the East or West for over 400 years. In Ramsay Wood's version the profound meanings behind these ancient fables shine forth as he captures a great world classic, making it fresh, relevant, fascinating and hugely readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collection and translation into English of the earliest biographical accounts of Galileo’s life This unique critical edition presents key early biographical accounts of the life and work of Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), written by his close contemporaries. Collected and translated into English for the first time and supplemented by an introduction and incisive annotations by Stefano Gattei, these documents paint an incomparable firsthand picture of Galileo and offer rare insights into the construction of his public image and the complex intertwining of science, religion, and politics in seventeenth-century Italy. Here in its entirety is Vincenzo Viviani’s Historical Account, an extensive and influential biography of Galileo written in 1654 by his last and most devoted pupil. Viviani’s text is accompanied by his “Letter to Prince Leopoldo de’ Medici on the Application of Pendulum to Clocks” (1659), his 1674 description of Galileo’s later works, and the long inscriptions on the façade of Viviani’s Florentine palace (1702). The collection also includes the “Adulatio perniciosa,” a Latin poem written in 1620 by Cardinal Maffeo Barberini—who, as Pope Urban VIII, would become Galileo’s prosecutor—as well as descriptive accounts that emerged from the Roman court and contemporary European biographers. Featuring the original texts in Italian, Latin, and French with their English translations on facing pages, this invaluable book shows how Galileo’s pupils, friends, and critics shaped the Galileo myth for centuries to come, and brings together in one volume the primary sources needed to understand the legendary scientist in his time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How portraits of artists during the Renaissance helped create the first art stars in modern history Michelangelo was one of the biggest international art stars of his time, but being Michelangelo was no easy thing: he was stalked by fans, lauded and lambasted by critics, and depicted in unauthorized portraits. Still Lives traces the process by which artists such as Michelangelo, Dürer, and Titian became early modern celebrities. Artists had been subjects of biographies since antiquity, but Renaissance artists were the first whose faces were sometimes as recognizable as their art. Maria Loh shows how this transformation was aided by the rapid expansion of portraiture and self-portraiture as independent genres in painting and sculpture. She examines the challenges confronting artists in this new image economy: What did it mean to be an image maker haunted by one's own image? How did these changes affect the everyday realities of artists and their workshops? And how did images of artists contribute to the way they envisioned themselves as figures in a history that would outlive them? Richly illustrated, Still Lives is an original exploration of the invention of the artist portrait and a new form of secular stardom.
