Duhovno vodstvo i meditacija

Thomas Merton na sebi svojstven, nenametljiv, ali poticajan način, progovara o duhovnom vodstvu i meditaciji, pokušavajući izmijeniti neka kruta i stereotipna stajališta, ali ujedno zadržati tradicionalan i poznati pristup. Obraćajući se kršćaninu koji traži duhovnika ili ga već ima, naglašava: budući da milost gradi na naravi, duhovno ćemo vodstvo najbolje iskoristiti ako ono potiče razvoj naše prirodne jednostavnosti, iskrenosti i postojanoga duhovnog poštenja, jednom riječju – trebamo biti to što jesmo, u najboljem smislu riječi. U drugom dijelu knjižice Merton ističe neformalnost i odbojnost prema konvencionalnim i rigidnim sustavima za meditiranje, ostavljajući disciplinu na vrlo važnom mjestu, ali vlastitu disciplinu, a ne neku mehaničku rutinu, nametnutu izvana. Ne pokušava nagovarati na meditiranje ili nametnuti nekakav model meditiranja, nego se dotiče nekih vrlo važnih točaka koje mora razumjeti onaj koji istinski želi meditirati.

Wolfgang Tillmans

Edited by Burkhard Riemschneider. Wolfgang Tillmans has explored the medium of photo-imaging with greater range than any other artist of his generation. From early portraits of his friends to abstract images made in a darkroom without a camera or works made with a photocopier, he has pushed the photographic process to its outer limits in myriad ways. For this collection of photos, his fifth book with TASCHEN, Tillmans edited his previous four books into one stream of intersecting perspectives on life around the turn of the millenium. Keeping his original layouts intact, he added some new works, bringing the scope of the publication to the present day.

Baroque : Architecture, Sculpture, Painting

Edaited by Rolf Toman Almost 200 years of Baroque art are presented in striking images and thought-provoking text?-capturing the theatrical pathos, illusionistic devices, and interplay of different styles that made 17th-century and 18th-century European culture extravagant, showy, and even pretentious. An in-depth study of moving works of art from various European countries exposes the sensual beauty of these objects as well as their allegorical representation of religious beliefs.
