È un libro degli anni '40 con una violenta storia editoriale che ci è giunto quasi per caso. La "gabbia" è quella del fantasy esoterico, ma in realtà, se scostate il velo, c'è molto di più. Il punto forte di questo romanzo è l'introspezione. L'autrice infatti, oltre ad essere molto acuta e pungente,...

My daughter called this book "epic." That's a good way to start to intimate what kind of work this is: a clear look at "the big picture." Meher Baba's "God Speaks" is the description of the journey of the soul throughout all the realms of the cosmos, told as simply and directly as such can be done. This is the...

I romanzi di questa "Trilogia" nascono dalla tragedia di chi fu allontanato dal proprio paese in nome di una motivazione aberrante come quella razziale. In "L'amico ritrovato" questa lacerazione coincide con la fine dell'amicizia tra due compagni di liceo, Hans Schwarz, ebreo figlio di borghesi,...
