Lädt ... Rules for a Knightvon Ethan Hawke
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) Santhosh_Guru | Oct 19, 2023 |  Assuming 'The Rules for a Knight', would speak of chivalry, battle and danger, the reality was anything but. This is a Zen-like meditation focused on the humanity one should embrace.. Taken from a letter written in the fifteenth century handed down across generations, Ethan Hawke shares something unique about his heritage, and odd that it may be, acting and writing aren't included. Concise and filled with enlightening wisdom the rules/guidance are profound considering when they were written. I found the short chapters and parables a delight, and the wisdom invigorating. As advocates of the written word, we rarely if ever have the opportunity to indulge in something so unique, factual and historical. Having descended from a unique family, its easy to see how Ethan's writing takes on deeper meaning and I feel his willingness to translate and publish this, generous. ( ) Jonathan5 | Feb 20, 2023 | The melancholy tone of the book, where the main character transmits his moral lessons to his children on the evening prior to a fateful battle, and the piecemeal story structure, make this a book perhaps to be dipped into, rather than consumed whole. (  ) Beniaminus | Nov 1, 2017 |  )1  MarthaJeanne | Oct 4, 2016 | Ethan Hawke baseerde deze brief met deugden als vergeving, moed, trots en geduld op oude wijsheden uit de Oosterse en Westerse filosofie en de grote spirituele en politieke teksten van nu. Leidraad voor een nobel leven is voorzien van illustraties: elke deugd wordt gesymboliseerd door een vogel, getekend door Ryan Hawke." Boeiend en knap verteld: een soort 'Hagakure' of 'Handorakel' (2 favorieten uit de wereldliteratuur), maar dan over en voor ridders. Soms iets te veel schieten in open doel, maar steeds onderhoudend en begeesterend. Acteurs kunnen (soms) ook schrijven, zo blijkt.

"It is 1483, and Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke, a Cornish knight, is about to ride into battle. On the eve of his departure, he composes a letter to his four young children, consisting of twenty virtues that provide instruction on how to live a noble life, and on all the lessons, large and small, that he might have imparted to them himself were he not expecting to die on the battlefield. "Why am I alive? Where was I before I was born? What will happen to me when I die? Whatever well our lives are drawn from, it is deep, wild, mysterious, and unknowable..."Rules for a Knight is many things: a code of ethics; an intimate record of a lifelong quest; a careful recounting of a knight's hardest won lessons, deepest aspirations, and most richly instructive failures; and an artifact, a relic of a father's exquisite love. Drawing on the ancient teachings of Eastern and Western philosophy and religion, on literature, and poetry, and on the great spiritual and political writings of our time, Ethan Hawke has written a parable that--in the story of a young man's journey toward a life of authenticity and meaning--captures the instinctive movement of the heart toward truth and beauty. Rules for a Knight has the appeal of Arthurian legend; the economy of Aesop; and the vitality, intelligence, and risk-taking that could only emanate from Ethan Hawke"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
