Kamo No Chomei Knihy
Tento japonský autor a básník se proslavil svým esejem, který odráží jeho vlastní zkušenosti s přírodními a společenskými katastrofami. Po ztrátě společenského postavení se rozhodl opustit svět a stát se poustevníkem, což bylo v jeho době neobvyklé. Jeho dílo, inspirované buddhistickými principy a životem mimo společnost, se stal vzorem pro žánr „literatury reclusů“. Jeho jedinečný styl a hluboké zamyšlení nad pomíjivostí života z něj činí nezapomenutelného autora.

The single great work of literary witness in medieval Japan, Hojoki is a short social chronicle prompted by a series of calamities that overtook old Kyoto in the late 12th century. By building a rude home in the forest and eliminating desire, poet and Buddhist priest Chomei believed he would be spared the anguish that had befallen the townspeople. Yet at the end we find the author consumed with self-doubt, questioning his own sanity and the integrity of his purpose. His voice reaches out from the distant past and speaks directly to our hearts, surprisingly modern and intensely human. Author Biography: Yasuhiko Moriguchi and David Jenkins are writers, teachers, and translators living in Kyoto. Stone Bridge Press is a leading English-language publisher of Japanese literature in translation. Our ROCK SPRING COLLECTION OF JAPANESE LITERATURE features absorbing and important translations of classical and contemporary Japanese fiction and poetry. We believe that literature is a window into culture and society, and an expression of what is most peculiarly, and universally, human.
