Conference of the Birds
Author: Farid Al-Din Attar
Publisher: Weiser Books
ISBN: 1609252233
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
First written in the 12th century, Conference of the Birds is an allegory of extreme measures for extreme times -- the story of birds seeking a king is the story of all of us seeking God. Like the birds, we may be excited for the journey, until we realize that we must give up our fears and hollow desires, that our journey will be long and hard. Like the duck, we may not wish to leave the water. Like the nightingale, we may want to stay close to our roses. Direct and to the point, Masani's translation, made in the early part of the 19th century, is particularly apropos for our early 21st century times -- both are periods of intense spiritual seeking.

The Parliament of Birds
Author: Geoffrey Chaucer
Publisher: Hesperus Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In this collection of poems, among his very best, Chaucer showcases his lyrical skills to perfection. Verging from tragic to comic, the overriding theme of the poetry is love, in its many guises. Chaucer tells of his passion for reading, which allows him to eavesdrop on a "parliament of birds" on St Valentine's Day; he tells how he, as an inveterate reader, forsakes his books on the first of May to wander into the fields; he complains of being short of money; and he complains to his scribe for copying his verses badly. All in all, in the course of the poetry he reveals a lot about himself, and does so throughout in an engaging and civilized manner.

Book Description

Conference of the Birds
Author: John Heilpern
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 9780878301102
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
"Part theater expedition and experiment, part spiritual search and comedy of errors, Brook's adventure was in essence a search for a new beginning and a completely new form of theater. The actors performed at each village they came to improvising before stunned villagers with whom they shared no common language. The outcome was to have far-reaching implications for the future of theater and a seminal impact on all of Brook's groundbreaking work thereafter - from his ninety-minute Carmen to his seven-hour epic, The Mahabharata."--BOOK JACKET. "This classic book is the most penetrating account written about the ideas and personality of the man described as the world's greatest theater director."--BOOK JACKET.
