James Legge Knihy

Ilustrovaná Kniha proměn se skládá ze šedesáti čtyř hexagramů a příslušných doprovodných textů. Hexagram pro danou otázku se získává pomocí vrhů mincemi a sestavuje se vždy kombinací dvou z osmi trigramů. Kniha je ilustrována čínskou autorkou žijící v Praze. Excentrické orákulum. Každý, kdo jej začne používat, zjistí, že má svou vlastní osobitost. Možná na sebe přebírá povahu tazatele, ačkoliv často zaujímá překvapivá a nevypočitatelná stanoviska. Někdy rád vede vtipné a vícesmyslné rozhovory, jindy neúnavně znovu a znovu probírá jediné téma nebo problém. Je to svéhlavá kniha - nelze ji odložit ani používat bez rozmyslu. Až se s I-ťingem patřičně sblížíte, uvidíte, že vás nejednou uvede do rozpaků, či poleká, ale často také rozesměje. Kromě osvíceného překladu představuje Ilustrovaná kniha proměn ojedinělou možnost proniknout k významu tohoto klasického díla: na základě myšlenky propojení pravé a levé mozkové hemisféry vám k intuitivnějšímu pochopení významu hexagramů nabízí čínské kaligrafické obrazy (každý z nich zachycuje náladu nebo atributy situace reprezentované daným hexagramem). Ilustrovaná kniha proměn tak představuje snadno dostupný nástroj sloužící k bytostnému porozumění univerzálním principům, tak jak je popisuje I-ťing, nejstarší kniha světa.

The book of wisdom by Mencius, a philosopher and sage of Ancient China is presented here in hardcover with an authoritative English translation. Written during and shortly after the Warring States period of Chinese antiquity, the book of Mencius is a selection of conversational dialogues between the philosopher and his various disciples. Together they discuss all manner of topics, from living a happy and virtuous life to the principles of raising a family and educating the young. Breaking with Confucius himself, who venerated rulers and strong governance, Mencius argues for the right of common people to overthrow a repressive or brutal regime. The book is rich with analogy, examining the actions of the ancient kings and dukes of China in order to draw comparisons and enhance the lessons offered. In life, Mencius was a prominent figure who traveled and lectured widely, serving variously as an educator, official and scholar in the realms of ancient China.
