Vivi Nella Bellezza Pema Chodron

A Tibetan lama tells his life story, from childhood with nomadic parents to his entrance into a monastic community, participation in Buddhist retreats, recognition as a reincarnated lama, meeting with the present Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet, and study and training in the Dzogchen tradition of Buddhism for service as a teacher to the world—based for the last ten years in California.

L'arte non è sospesa nel vuoto. Come scriveva T.S. Eliot, "quel che accade quando viene creata una nuova opera d'arte accade simultaneamente anche a tutte le opere che l'hanno preceduta".

Arte e storia, uomini e capolavori, sono un tutt'uno nel fluire del tempo. Tenendo tutto ciò sempre ben presente, Martin Kemp ha scritto questo impeccabile compendio di storia dell'arte, un'introduzione da cui partire per intuire la complessità della nostra immensa tradizione pittorica e scultorea.
