内容简介
This is the first translation into English of the writings of Jean Bies one of the great spiritual poets of our time whose work also constitutes a compelling critique of the secularisation of the modern world. Bies introduces readers to metaphysical esoteric and spiritual teaching from diverse sacred sources. His words are rooted in the inexhaustible ground of the Perennial Philosophy the language of the Essential to which this book invites us to return. Having received the prestigious High Prize of the Society of Poets Jean Bies is known in France as on of the most important traditionalist philosophers and poets of our time. His more than twenty books from which these selected writings are taken present the metaphysical and esoteric teachings of the great religions of the world; they include travel writings and intimate portraits of sacred sites such as Mount Athos Benares and multiple collections of poetry. Previously unknown to the English-speaking world Jean Bies must be counted as one of the premier twentieth century exponents of the Perennial Philosophy.
