This small book was a total impulse choice at the library. I was a bit surprised by how much I liked it. The essays are both deeply personal as well as written by someone with such spiritual/emotional knowledge as to make it often feel quite universal. Yet a thought that kept nagging me as I read was -- how universal is this, really? What privileges of privacy, stability, self-direction afforded to a priest/author are not applicable to the common reader? And how many of his claims of the show more universal accessibility and benefits of meditation do not consider limitations of poverty and mental illness?
It's easy to say that such issues are beyond the scope of this tiny book, but still, they weighed on my mind. Even as I both enjoyed this book and found it persuasive. So much so that I instigated a joint meditation practice with a friend. Which fell apart within a few weeks, more because new habits are hard than any judgement or lack of appreciation of the meditation itself.
A lovely book. I might be tempted to read more by d'Ors should translations become available. show less

‘Andanzas del impresor Zollinger’, de Pablo d’Ors, fue publicada por Anagrama en 2003, y ha sido reeditada recientemente por Impedimenta. En esta nouvelle se nos narran las vicisitudes de August Zollinger, aspirante a impresor en su localidad natal, Romanshorn, deseo este que se verá obligado a posponer, además de tener que abandonar su ciudad. A partir de este punto, iremos acompañando a Zollinger en su peregrinaje por distintos lugares y empleos. El más importante de estos show more trabajos será el de ferroviario, donde acabará enamorándose, y que marcará un punto de inflexión en sus posteriores decisiones. Pablo d’Ors nos invita a disfrutar de la amistad, de la soledad, adentrándonos en su particular universo, con sus absurdos y situaciones ilógicas. Con sencillez y lirismo, d’Ors nos ofrece esta amable alegoría o fábula, alejada de este mundo absurdo. show less
Pavel se pone en contacto con 'Los amigos del desierto', con los que tiene varios encuentros y desencuentros, y con los que viaja al desierto en varias ocasiones. El desierto y su busqueda, es el tema central de este libro, que gustara a viajeros 'interiores'y exteriores, ya que aunque se puede leer como un libro de viajes poco usual, tambien da lugar a otras lecturas opcionales, que insinuan el seguimiento de una vocacion o el descubrimiento de uno mismo. Es un libro muy hermoso y sugerente.
