Zorba the Buddha is the first comprehensive study of the life, teachings, and following of the controversial Indian guru known in his youth as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and in his later years as Osho (1931–1990). Most Americans today remember him only as the “sex guru” and the “Rolls Royce guru,” who built a hugely successful but scandal-ridden utopian community in central Oregon during the 1980s. Yet Osho was arguably the first truly global guru of the twentieth century, creating a large transnational movement that traced a complex global circuit from post-Independence India of the 1960s to Reagan’s America of the 1980s and back to a developing new India in the 1990s. The Osho movement embodies some of the most important economic and spiritual currents of the past forty years, emerging and adapting within an increasingly interconnected and conflicted late-capitalist world order. Based on extensive ethnographic and archival research, Hugh Urban has created a rich and powerful narrative that is a must-read for anyone interested in religion and globalization. Получить ссылку |

Год издания:
Ema poolt inglise ja isa poolt India paritolu Karim on Londoni aarelinnas elav teismeline, kes januneb seikluste ja seksi jarele. Rahuliku pereelu poorab pea peale isa, kellest saab aarelinna Buddha, imetlevate jungrite ebajumal. Kui Buddha uhte oma jungrisse armub, satub Karim ootamatult hoopis teistsugusesse maailma tais reeturlikke teatraale, punkrokistaare, glamuurseid pidusid ja seksuaalseid ahvatlusi.Briti kirjaniku Hanif Kureishi „Aarelinna Buddha” (1990) palvis Whitbreadi auhinna aasta parima debuutromaani eest ning joudis 1993. aastal BBC ekraanile miniseriaalina, millele loi muusika David Bowie. 1970. aastate Londonis hargnev kirev ja vaimukas „Aarelinna Buddha” on jaanud varskeks ja ootamatult ajakajaliseks ka nuud, kus jarjekordne teismeliste polvkond segases maailmas oma kohta otsib. Kaesolev valjaanne on 1996. aastal avaldatud tolke parandatud versioon. Eesti lugejatelt sooja vastuvotu leidnud Kureishi loomingust on varem ilmunud ka „Gabrieli and” (2003) ja „Midagi sulle oelda” (2009).
