Uno studente di Tōkyō intraprende un viaggio solitario nella pittoresca penisola di Izu: spera di trovare sollievo ai propri tormenti. Nella bellezza del paesaggio autunnale, il protagonista vive un'esperienza che lo segnerà a fondo: conosce Kaoru, una giovane danzatrice errante, pura nella sua naturale semplicità e nel suo animo infantile. In un delicato equilibrio tra lo scenario idilliaco di Izu e le dinamiche emotive fra i due, Kawabata esplora il tema della bellezza effimera e dell'innocenza perduta, catturando con maestria la fugacità del momento.

Whilst Europe endured the Dark Ages in the 6th & 7th Centuries, devotees of Shiva and Vishnu in Southern India were creating the Bhakti Movement. Some of these exponents, as in our volume, were bestowed with the title of saint but some had the additional title of sant, swami or goswami. Broadly speaking, Bhakti poetry, as in Hinduism itself, is divided into ‘Nirguna’, the idea that the divine is formless as exampled by Kabir and ‘Saguna’, which interprets the divine as having physical form as captured by Mirabai.

A dream I wish to have in the night most often isn’t about dating a Hollywood star or making a great hit song. It’s not about my parents saying to me with tears, “We were wrong. We’re sorry”, either. It’s about numbers. I once saw a woman on TV who won four million dollars by the lottery with the numbers she had seen in her dream. Shortly after that, I myself saw numbers in my dream and began to buy a lottery ticket with those numbers.

Khair Chhodo is a niche collection of poems written by Vishwa Deepak. In this book, the poet has tried to include poems on various emotions like love, valor, revolution, family relations, etc. The metaphors and similes used in his poems are refreshingly new, and the abstract references used by him in some places enchant you. But the real treat for the listener will be the introduction of a relatively new genre called Triveni.
