Cosa farete della vostra vita?

Nuova pubblicazione presso la casa editirce Ubaldini Astrolabio

Jiddu Krishnamurti
COSA FARETE DELLA VOSTRA VITA?

In questa raccolta di discorsi rivolta ai giovani Krishnamurti riflette sulla necessità di imparare a pensare. Il volume è diviso in quattro parti, dedicate al sé e alla vita, al processo di conoscenza di sé, all’educazione, al lavoro e al denaro e infine alle relazioni, dalla famiglia ai rapporti amorosi. Con il consueto anticonformismo, Krishnamurti si rivolge in modo diretto ai suoi interlocutori, rispondendo alle loro domande in modo da suscitare quella rivoluzione interiore, scevra di qualsivoglia dogmatismo, che scaturisce dalla conoscenza di sé, dall’amore e dal pensiero corretto.

NOVITÀ EDITORIALE novembre-dicembre 2018

Jiddu Krishnamurti – David Bohm
DOVE IL TEMPO FINISCE

Nuova edizione ampliata

Nuova edizione del più importante libro di Krishnamurti dopo la pubblicazione del suo Diario e del suo Taccuino, un dialogo tra il maestro spirituale e il fisico teorico David Bohm. “L’umanità è ormai giunta a una svolta rovinosa; cos’è che produce divisione, conflitto e distruzione senza fine?”. Questa domanda fornisce lo spunto per tutta un’esplorazione dei problemi chiave per quanto riguarda la natura dell’uomo e il suo rapporto con la società. I principali temi affrontati vanno dal problema del conflitto nell’uomo, dalla sua incapacità di riconciliare le sue proprie divisioni psichiche, dal problema della libertà individuale, alle soluzioni di volta in volta proposte da scienza, arte e religione. Rispetto alla prima edizione sono presenti una introduzione e una prefazione di David Skitt, tre conversazioni risalenti allo stesso periodo delle dodici precedenti, e un’appendice, intitolata “Il futuro dell’umanità”.

“In the Presence of Krishnamurti: Mary’s Unfinished Book.”
Written by Mary Zimbalist; Edited by Scott H. Forbes.

Mary Zimbalist was Jiddu Krishnamurti’s assistant, traveling companion, hostess, and the person closest to him since his brother died in 1925. Krishnamurti asked her to write about what it was like to be with him. From Krishnamurti’s death in 1986 until her own in 2008, she worked diligently and continuously at doing this, using her extraordinary daily dairies as her source. She never finished her book, but this beautifully written testimonial to a remarkable man conveys a sense of him and their relationship that is unequaled. It is unfinished, but it is not incomplete.

“Krishnamurti Preparing to Leave”
Written by Scott H. Forbes

The author spent six to eight hours a day with Krishnamurti from the end of May 1985 until Krishnamurti’s death in February 1986. This was a time of such seismic changes in the Krishnamurti organizations in America, England, Switzerland, and India, that the author, who was thirty-seven years old at the time, kept detailed notes. At the request of Krishnamurti’s official biographer, Mary Lutyens, the author assembled his notes and lent them to her for the final volume of her biography of Krishnamurti. She encouraged Scott to publish his assemblage, and advised him “not to change a word.” Thirty-one years later, Scott set out to do that. However, over the intervening decades, the author found he had additional things to write regarding this extraordinary time in his life, and he does so with footnotes and appendices to preserve the original material. Consequently, this book uniquely shows the last nine months of Krishnamurti’s life through the eyes of the author at both thirty-seven and sixty-eight years of age.
