Sobre este artículo

[Tokyo] 1952, Kokudosha. Stiff brown wrs. 95p., 3-page color fold out map, texts in English & Japanese, 12.5 x 18 cm.,bit of the usual paper toning, else clean & solid, with dj. THE AUTHOR'S SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY RARE FIRST EDITION "An interpretation of Christian intuitions by the Mahayana concepts, and NOT visa-versa,is that Buddhism, in China and Japan, has realized how inexpressive, how crude, how treach- erous words are. Only a mind free of intellectual bondage, yet exacly conscious of what it is doing in overstepping the laws of thought is capable of holding fast to conflicting facts, of grasping the inner essence of paradox...." Very cool stuff ! * Per the dust jacket on ZEN AND ZEN CLASSICS, this title was supposed to be volume 8 of the set. While that may be correct, this work predates that set by 8 years for the first edition ! This title was never issued as part of ZEN AND ZEN CLASSICS even though its content should be kept together with that set. It does complete the set as this was Blyth's choice. **** A very well written, readable set of books. The celebrated Zen master D.T. Suzuki described Blyth as "one of the most eminent exponents of Japanese culture." **** ZEN AND HAIKU: Blyth's studies on Haiku, Japanese humor and Zen are "unique contributions towards East-West understanding." Blyth lived & worked in the east 40 years, until his death in 1964. The history of Zen is the history of moments. It cannot be, like the history of ideas, or even the history of the freedom of thought, an account of development, systematization, criticism, modification, replacement and so forth. Zen seems to become deeper sometimes, shallower, broader, narrower sometimes, but there is no progress of the ordinary kind. It is a history only in the sense of being a list of names of great men in the attainment of great and so forth. Zen seems to become deeper sometimes, shallower, broader, narrower sometimes, but there is no progress of the ordinary kind. It is a history only in the sense of being a list of names of great men in the attainment of great Buddha-hood. * BLYTH'S CONTRIBUTION: Blyth lived and worked in the East for forty years, until his death in 1964 at the age of sixty-six. From the time of his internment in Japan during World War II, Blyth wrote assiduously. In the 1950's, his "ZEN IN ENGLISH LITERATURE" and "ORIENTAL CLASSICS" and "HAIKU" reached enthusiastic readers in America and Europe. Aldous Huxley describes Blyth's work as "illuminating." As William J. Higginson writes in his "HAIKU HANDBOOK," thanks to Blyth "a new interest in Japanese Haiku began to grow among poets of the immediate post World War II generation." ... Blyth's Contribution to cross-cultural understanding was manifold. In 1945, Blyth assumed a post as professor of English at Tokyo's Gakushuin University, the former Peers' School. For almost twenty years he tutored Crown Prince Akihito, the present Emperor. Blyth played a leading role in Emperor Hirohito's historical declaration of January 1, 1946, that he was a human being rather than a god. Blyth edited numerous writings from English and American literature, making them available to avid Japanese readers. **** BIBLIOGRAPHY: Please inquire with us to see which of the below other titles by Blyth are in stock. * Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics, Hokuseido Press, 1942 * Haiku, 1949-1952, in four volumes: Vol.1: Eastern Culture.
