In this revealing, unique biography, Beethoven emerges as a cornerstone of the modern world. All recordings are freely available on Idagio and YouTube. Autorid: Norman Lebrecht

"David Hinton's translation of the famous koan collection better known as The Book of Serenity"-- In this radical new translation of a classic Chan (Zen) koan collection, David Hinton illuminates the Taoist dimensions of carefree-ease, the effortless joy of the enlightened mind in harmony with earth and cosmos.First collected by the Chan master Wisdom-Expanse (Hung-Chih) in the twelfth century, this collection of one hundred kung-ans, or koans, is an essential text for students of Chan and Zen. These miniature masterpieces of Chinese philosophy and literature offer a unique way of penetrating directly into the essence of Chan teaching, and in this new translation, Hinton affords readers an opportunity to experience these koans in English like never before. Paring away the later commentaries that are usually presented with these koans, Hinton lets the original stories stand on their own, revealing themselves as nothing less than poetic expressions of the awakened mind. A far cry from the transcendence of life-and-death that typifies the traditional Buddhist goal of nirvana, this awakening is distinctly earthy and grounded in the rhythms of nature, shaped by the centuries of Taoist tradition that preceded Chan. Carefree ease, writes Hinton, is to move through life with the profound tranquility of the Cosmos itself as it unfurls through its perennial transformations.Following his translation of No-Gate Gateway (2018) and Blue-Cliff Record (2024), this volume marks the completion of Hintons project to translate all three of the classic koan collections.

From Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, this is the second instalment in the visionary novel cycle Canopus in Argos: Archives. This is the story of the kindly Queen of Zone Three, who rules a land free of all harshness, and her forced marriage with the soldier-king of Zone Four, which is hierarchic, disciplined, inflexible, dutiful. This apparently difficult marriage, unwanted by both, requires a compromise between impulse and reason, between instinct and logic. Ben Ata learns to accept and then to love the ruler of Zone Three and her alien ways; and she learns to love and to need him. But when the Queen is commanded by the Providers to return to her own realm, she must obey, shattering though it is to leave her husband and child. Ben Ata, in turn, is ordered to marry the savage beauty who rules Zone Five, a land that both unites and reverses the other two Zones. In The Marriages Doris Lessing uses science-fiction brilliantly to investigate the conflict between men and women. Once again, invented planets allow her to deploy her unillusioned knowledge of the real world of the reader. Autorid: Doris Lessing
