Christopher Isherwood 
My Guru and His Disciple [EPUB ebook] 

支持

The author of The Berlin Stories and A Single Man chronicles his thirty-year relationship with his spiritual advisor, a Hindu priest.My Guru and His Disciple is a sweetly modest and honest portrait of Isherwood’s spiritual instructor, Swami Prabhavananda, the Hindu priest who guided Isherwood for some thirty years. It is also a book about the often amusing and sometimes painful counterpoint between worldliness and holiness in Isherwood’s own life. Sexual sprees, all-night drinking bouts, a fast car ride with Greta Garbo, scriptwriting conferences at MGM, intellectual sparring sessions with Berthold Brecht alternated with nights of fasting at the Vedanta Center, a six-month period of celibacy and sobriety, and the pious drudgery of translating (in collaboration with the Swami) the Bhagavad-Gita.Seldom has a single man been owed with such strong drives toward both sensuality and spirituality, abandon and discipline; out of the passionate dialectic between these drives, My Guru and His Disciple has been written."In some ways, Isherwood’s most ambitious book. There is a sense of wholeness and of the joy of spiritual quest. We can believe such a believer." -The Boston Globe
