Deze serie, die Uitgeverij Thoth in samenwerking met de Tate Gallery Londen uitbrengt, bespreekt de belangrijkste kunststromingen van de twintigste eeuw. Elk deel bevat illustraties (bijna allemaal in kleur) van werken uit beroemde collecties van over de hele wereld. In 1909 ontstond het futurisme, het geesteskind van de Italiaanse schrijver en cultureel impresario F.T Marinetti. Het was een van de belangrijkste avant-gardebewegingen uit het begin van de twintigste eeuw. De futuristen, die zowel werden geinspireerd door de steden, de technologie, de snelheid en het latente geweld van de wereld om hen heen als door het gedachtegoed van Bergson en Nietzsche, schiepen een kunst en ideologie waarin plaats was voor hun heroische en uiterst politiek getinte visie op de moderniteit.

What you see depends on where - and when - you are looking from. As this enthralling book shows, maps have shaped our view of the world throughout history, and are themselves shaped by the ideas, prejudices, systems of power and creativity of their age. Jerry Brotton examines twelve world maps from global history - from the mystical representations of ancient civilizations and the medieval mappaemundi to the satellite-derived imagery of today - to show how, by reading them, we can better understand the worlds that produced them. You will never look at a map in quite the same way again. 'Marvellous historical writing that captivates the reader and reveals the aura with which artefacts from the past entrance us.' Robert Mayhew, History Today'A mesmerising and beautifully illustrated book . . . Rich and endlessly absorbing.' Sinclair McKay, Daily Telegraph'A highly rewarding study . . . you will emerge with a detailed insight into how maps reflect, expose and manipulate the societies in which they are made.' Simon Garfield, Mail on Sunday'Conveyed with beguiling erudition . . . maps prove to be less conveyors of information than theatrical performances.' Andrew Linklater, Spectator'A brilliant exercise in global history.' Stephen Howe, Independent, Books of the Year

I Teach Love Of Life

This Was The Basis Of All Of Osho S Teachings, And One That Was Often Lost In The Controversies That Surrounded Him For Most Of His Career As A Spiritual Guide. A Man Of Vast Learning Who Had Read Everything He Could Find To Broaden His Understanding Of The Belief Systems And Psychology Of Modern Man, He Was At The Same Time Completely Original In His Approach, Insisting On Finding Out The Truth For Himself Rather Than Accepting What Had Been Taught By Others.

Iconoclastic Yet Persuasive, Lucid Yet Grounded In A Wealth Of Theological Knowledge, His Message Found A Worldwide Audience. In Life S Mysteries The Reader Is Introduced To Some Of The Key Tenets Of Osho S Philosophy. A Sampling:

Life: I Teach The Art Of Living Your Life Totally, Of Being Drunk With The Divine Through Life.
Love: If You Really Want To Know About Love, Forget About Love And Remember Meditation (Just As) If You Want To Bring Roses Into Your Garden, Forget About Roses And Take Care Of The Rosebush... In The Right Time, The Roses Are Destined To Come.
Sex: If It Can Give Birth To A Child, To A New Life...You Can Imagine Its Potential: It Can Bring A New Life To You Too.
Enlightenment: You Should Not Make Any Effort, You Should Relax And Enlightenment Comes.
Death: To Me Death Is Not The End Of Life But...The Very Climax...If You Have Lived Rightly, If You Have Lived Moment To Moment Totally, If You Have Squeezed Out The Whole Juice Of Life, Your Death Will Be The Ultimate Orgasm.

Examining the nature of compassion from a radically different perspective, Osho reveals that “passion” lies at the root of the word, and then proceeds to challenge assumptions about what compassion really is. Many so-called acts of compassion, he says, are tainted by a subtle sense of self-importance and desire for recognition. Others are based in the desire not really to help others but to force them to change.

Using stories from the lives of Jesus and Buddha and the world of Zen, Osho shows how the path to authentic compassion arises from within, beginning with a deep acceptance and love of oneself. Only then, says Osho, does compassion flower into a healing force, rooted in the unconditional acceptance of the other as he or she is.

Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

For more than thirty years, the insights of Osho have delighted and challenged spiritual seekers. Everyday Osho represents the essence of these insights an understanding that synthesizes a wide range of spiritual and philosophical traditions -- with the contributions of modern science and psychology. This inspirational volume offers readers daily choices by living fully in the here and now, challenging them to embrace a new way of being that integrates body, mind, and spirit.

Underlying all meditation techniques, including martial arts—and in fact underlying all great athletic performances—is a quality of being awake and present to the moment, a quality that Osho calls awareness. Once we can identify and understand what this quality of awareness is, we have the key to self-mastery in virtually every area of our lives.

According to great masters like Lao Tzu or Buddha, most of us move through our lives like sleepwalkers. Never really present in what we are doing, never fully alert to our environment, and not even aware of what motivates us to do and say the things we do.

At the same time, all of us have experienced moments of awareness—or awakening, to use another—in extraordinary circumstances. On the road, in a sudden and unexpected accident, time seems to stop and one is suddenly aware of every movement, every sound, every thought. Or in moments that touch us deeply—welcoming a new baby into the world for the first time, or being with someone at the moment of death.

Awareness, says Osho, is the key to being self-directed, centered, and free in every aspect of our lives. In this book, Osho teaches how to live life more attentively, mindfully, and meditatively, with love, caring and consciousness.

Brieven van de Indiase levensleraar Osho (1931-1990) aan een geliefde discipel.

OSHO clears up misconceptions about what meditation is - playful, and what it is not - serious. He answers fundamental questions about meditation and gives a detailed description of each stage of his most revolutionary meditation technique, the Osho Dynamic Meditation.

In today's world, freedom is our basic condition, and until we learn to live with that freedom, and learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we are denying ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else.

Love can only happen through freedom and in conjunction with a deep respect for ourselves and the other. Is it possible to be alone and not lonely? Where are the boundaries that define "lust" versus "love"...and can lust ever grow into love? In Love, Freedom, Aloneness you will find unique, radical, and intelligent perspectives on these and other essential questions. In our post-ideological world, where old moralities are out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives. We have the chance to start afresh with ourselves, our relationships to others, and to find fulfillment and success for the individual and for society as a whole.

Extemporaneous talks given by the author to disciples and friends in Bombay.

Osho, one of the greatest spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century, explores the connections between ourselves and others in Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships.
