Book Synopsis Kafka Sutra by : Imtiaz Akhtar

Download or read book Kafka Sutra written by Imtiaz Akhtar. This book was released on 2017-02-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Imtiaz Akhtar's short stories are delicate precious stones that he might have collected while strolling with an umbrella along the Ganges River in his native Kolkata, at the end of the Monsoon season. The stories are an invitation to an India, both eternal and ephemeral, and are untainted by the puritanism brought to the continent by the British empire. I have sometimes called Imtiaz an existentialist secular Muslim, but no ism or religious affiliation could do justice to his superb writing, his exquisite palette of words that burst with smells, passions and ideas. Let Imtiaz take you on a wild journey that you will not soon forget, an imaginary trip in a world full of spice, desire, humor and the mysterious joys of life, spirituality, lust and death; a memorable voyage deep into our common collective psyche." Gilbert Mercier, author of The Orwellian Empire

El Kama sutra es un antiguo texto hindú escrito por Vatsiaiana, que trata sobre el comportamiento sexual humano. El Kamasutra se compone de 36 capítulos que versan sobre 7 temas diferentes, cada uno de los cuales fue escrito por un experto en el campo. Los temas son: 1."Introducción" : sobre el sexo en general, su lugar en la vida de un hombre, y una clasificación de las mujeres. 2."Sobre el acto sexual": una discusión en profundidad sobre los besos, varios tipos de juegos sexuales preliminares al acto sexual, orgasmos, una lista de posiciones sexuales, sexo oral, tabúes y tríos. 3."Sobre la elección de una esposa": el cortejo y el matrimonio. 4."Sobre la esposa": la conducta adecuada de una esposa. 5."Sobre las esposas de otros": principalmente sobre la seducción. 6."Sobre las cortesanas". 7."Sobre atraer a otras personas". Mallanaga Vatsiaiana (entre los siglos I y VI d. C.) fue un religioso y filósofo de la India, en la época del Imperio gupta. Se especula con que pasó su niñez en un burdel, y por las notas al final del libro, se supone que es el autor del Kama Sutra.

Book Synopsis Elaborations on Emptiness by : Donald S. Lopez, Jr.

Download or read book Elaborations on Emptiness written by Donald S. Lopez, Jr.. This book was released on 2016-11-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heart Sutra is perhaps the most famous Buddhist text, traditionally regarded as a potent expression of emptiness and of the Buddha's perfect wisdom. This brief, seemingly simple work was the subject of more commentaries in Asia than any other sutra. In Elaborations on Emptiness, Donald Lopez explores for the first time the elaborate philosophical and ritual uses of the Heart Sutra in India, Tibet, and the West. Included here are full translations of the eight extant Indian commentaries. Interspersed with the translations are six essays that examine the unusual roles the Heart Sutra has played: it has been used as a mantra, an exorcism text, a tantric meditation guide, and as the material for comparative philosophy. Taken together, the translations and essays that form Elaborations on Emptiness demonstrate why commentary is as central to modern scholarship on Buddhism as it was for ancient Buddhists. Lopez reveals unexpected points of instability and contradiction in the Heart Sutra, which, in the end, turns out to be the most malleable of texts, where the logic of commentary serves as a tool of both tradition and transgression.
