PASSAGE THROUGH INDIA: AN EXPANDED AND ILLUSTRATED EDITION
Book ID/图书代码: 03371011B50298
English Summary/英文概要: In 1962, after studying Buddhism in Japan, Gary Snyder, with his former wife, the poet Joanne Kyger, joined Allen Ginsberg and his companion Peter Orlovsky for a long trip to India “to see the hearth-land of the Buddha’s teachings.” Snyder kept extensive journals of his travels and, in this particular case, also wrote the whole account in one long letter to his sister. Passage Through India brings both together in celebration of and reverence for India and its teachings. As Snyder writes in his original preface, “I honor India for many things: those neolithic cattle breeders who sang daily songs of love to God and Cow, as a family, and whose singing is echoed even today . . . The finest love poetry and love sculpture on earth . . . But most, the spectacle of a high civilization that accomplished art, literature, and ceremony without imposing a narrow version of itself on every tribe and village.”
Complete with over a hundred photos from Snyder’s personal collection, Passage Through India is an opportunity to join one of our most heralded and beloved poets on a great spiritual journey under “an eternal sky of stars, and on a beginningless earth.”
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 1962年,加里.新德从日本学习完佛教理论后,就带着前妻—诗人 乔安娜.基格加入艾伦.金斯堡以及他的伙伴皮特驶向印度—“去领略佛教中心的教义。” 新德在自己的旅途中用这种独特的格式广泛记录,还包括一封写给其妹妹的完整长信。《印度之行》既表达了对印度以及佛教教义的赞美又表达了对其的尊敬。
正如新德在最初版前言中所写的那样:“在很多方面我都很尊敬印度,包括那些新石器时代那些饲养牛的人。他们唱着生活之歌,表达对上帝和牛犊的热爱,那些歌曲对当今依旧不乏意义……还有那些最精美的人爱情诗集,以及表达爱的雕塑……但最令我崇敬的是印度高度发达的文明好、集大成的艺术、文学以及每个部落和村庄无偏见、无狭隘的祭祀仪式。
《印度之行》之中插入了作者私藏的数百张照片,将带领我们追溯我们最为钟爱的先驱诗人之一。在这场精神的旅程上,我们将感受“一片永恒的星空,一个没有初始的地球。”(XMM)
Awards/获奖情况:无论新德写的是诗歌还是散文,他都是那么直接和率真,祛除矫揉造作之势。他用最真诚的作品带让我们陷入永久的沉思。
