Summary

"Michael Kohlhaas" is an engrossing work by the German author Heinrich von Kleist, based on a 16th-century story of Hans Kohlhase. According to early modern German versions, Kohlhase was a merchant whose grudge against a Saxon nobleman developed into a full-blown feud against the state of Saxony, thus violating the Eternal Peace of 1495. The movement ended in Kohlhase's execution in March 1540.

    Understanding Péguy

    For some, Péguy is “an anarchist who put holy water in his oil”; for others, a dangerous rebel whose “head is full of revolution”. A socialist and a Catholic, a pious poet and a raging polemicist, Péguy turns out to be a man with a sometimes chaotic, always leaping journey.
    Few authors have had such a controversial posterity as he. One hundred years after his death, it is time to do justice to this unclassifiable thinker, little known in his time, and who has so much to say in ours.
    Yves Rouvière's drawings are there to give substance to the words, to “embody the spiritual”, according to one of Péguy's cherished intuitions.

    At twenty-five, activist Cristina Moon faced an impossible task: preparing for the possibility of arrest and torture inside military-ruled Myanmar. Her response? Learning Buddhist meditation. So began what would become a decades-long spiritual path—eventually leading her to a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawai'i with a timeless method of warrior Zen training. 
     
     
     
    Offering a bracing account of three years of mind-body-spirit training at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple and martial arts dojo, Moon powerfully captures the rigors and realizations that finally shaped her into a Zen priest whose highest directive is to give fearlessness. 
     
     
     
    Told with immersive detail and an unique Asian American female perspective, Three Years on the Great Mountain chronicles Moon's straight-up-the-mountain training regimen at Chozen-ji, conducted every day and often through the nights. Through the spiritual forging of daily Zen meditation, manual labor, swordsmanship, and Japanese tea ceremony, she discovers a newfound conviction that self mastery and spiritual growth can take fierce form. Embraced by local Hawai'i and Japanese culture, and a community of discipline, respect, and discovery, she discovers a profound sense of home.
