Biographie de l'auteur :
Peter Matthiessen, distinguished novelist, naturalist, journalist, and explorer, was born in New York City and has been a commercial fisherman and charterboat captain. He participated as a diver in the worldwide search for the great white shark that culminated in his book Blue Meridian and in the film Blue Water, White Death. His fiction includes Race Rock; Partisans; Raditzer; At Play in the Fields of the Lord, which was nominated for a National Book Award; and most recently Far Tortuga. His nonfiction includes The Tree Where Man Was Born, which was nominated for a National Book Award, The Snow Leopard, which won a National Book Award in 1979, and In the Spirit of Crazy Horse.
Revue de presse :
"Very few writers have the courage, inner experience, and literary technique to take us into the reaches of mystic awareness. Matthiessen has; his prose is among the finest of our time—at once sensual and austere, sinewy, yet full of warmth, eloquent yet reverent, polished clean by silence and awe. Nine-Headed Dragon River is a clear gift to us from a complex man who has schooled himself to speak of central things with a most honorable exactitude."—Andrew Harvey, Vogue
"Remarkable, memorable nonfiction. Matthiessen's prose is as strong and pure as ever."—Duncan Spencer, Washington Post
"Peter Matthiessen's book embodies the spirit of Zen in America."—Hakuyu T. Maezumi, Zen Center of Los Angeles

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. In this hauntingly beautiful book, renowned explorer, naturalist, and novelist Peter Matthiessen describes his highly personal quest for a spiritual path. As a naturalist-explorer, Peter Matthiessen has participated in expeditions to remote regions, including the Amazon jungles, the Canadian Northwest Territories, the Sudan, New Guinea, and Nepal. But in this new work, he describes a spiritual journey, perhaps the most daring of all. Nine-Headed Dragon River is Matthiessen's most personal work to date. Written in the same journal format as his best-selling The Snow Leopard, it chronicles his quest for spiritual roots from his first meeting in the driveway of his home in Sagaponack, Long Island, in 1969 with "three inscrutable small men," who turned out to be Japanese Zen masters, to his 1982 pilgrimage to Japan as a Buddhist monk, Matthiessen writes openly and candidly about his struggles for self-understanding. In beautiful and moving passages he tells of the illness and subsequent death ofhis wife and his gradual reawakening to life through Zen. Interspersed with his own story is a history of Buddhism in America and lyrical descriptions of nature. Observant as ever of the tiniest creatures around him from the moth to the dragonfly, Matthiessen brings alive the beauties of Japan and the Japanese people in a completely fresh and startling way. Like The Snow Leopard, this is "a book fiercely felt and magnificently written" (Washington Post Book World). N° de réf. du vendeur DADAX0394552512
