Author Giles Morgan examines the Holy Grail from a religious point of point as well as from the many legends that surround it. Included in this concise account are its origins and its link to Christ. Also included are the ways the Grail figured in literature, art, music, and ancient organizations, such as the Templar Knights. The magnitude of the Grail has spawned several legends and inspired the imagination of modern writers and movie producers. The author also gives a brief history of the time period of the Grail as well as discussing briefly other ancient artifacts, such as the Shroud of Turin. Though short in pages, this book is long on information, written precisely and without personal opinions. ( )
Sveti Gral je odvajkada plenio pažnju kao jedna od najtajanstvenijih relikvija svih vremena. Objašnjavajući samu prirodu priče o Gralu ova knjiga nudi prosvetljujući uvid u gralske misterije, pomno ih prateći od keltskog paganizma do pojave i prevlasti hrišćanstva u zapadnoj Evropi. Uticaj istočnjačkog misticizma javlja se u gralskim romansama kao posledica srednjevekovnih krstaških pohoda prilikom kojih je došlo do snažnog sudara kultura i međusobne razmene ideja dvaju civilizacija. U današnje vreme, kada interesovanje za Gral kao simbol vrhunskog postignuća sve više raste, na svetlost dana ponovo izlaze dela velikana poput psihologa K.G. Junga i pesnika T.S. Eliota, nadahnuta svetim Gralom. Takođe, Rihard Vagner, Vilijam Blejk, prerafaeliti, jesu samo neki od umetnika koji su bili opčinjeni tajnom koja je oličena u svetoj posudi. U uvodu ove knjige Džil Morgan tvrdi: „Uprkos svim njegovim slikovitim osobinama, u pogledu svetog Grala uvek ostaje nešto suštinski neuhvatljivo. Kada joj se približe tragalac, vizionar ili naprosto radoznalac, ova zagonetka obavijena tajnom izgleda kao da povremeno izmiče van domašaja razumevanja. Iako na prvi pogled prepoznatljiva, kao što su to i likovi kralja Artura, Merlina i vitezova okruglog stola, sa kojima se, uostalom, i poistovećuje, ona smesta osujećuje očekivanja i težnje ka podrobnijoj analizi. Koreni predanja o Gralu mogu se naći u davnoj prošlosti Zapada, ali se isto tako može videti da ono sadrži elemente istočne mistike. Sa svoje strane, Gral je bio predmet poštovanja, posvećenosti, žudnje, kao i moćno oruđe političke i verske propagande.” Appartient à la série éditoriale
A Brief History of the Holy Grail charts the origins of the grail story from early Christian gospels through to eastern mysticism and the rise of medieval romances and Arthurian legends. The grail reappears once more in the story of the Crusades and in particular the rise and dramatic fall of the Knight Templars, who it is said were the guardians of the cup, newly discovered in Jerusalem. The myths have been more powerful that the facts and the allure of the Grail has attracted the attention of modern writers and artist in search of an ancient symbol of purity: psychologist Carl Jung, composer Richard Wagner, poets William Blake, and T S Eliot, the Pre-Raphelite painters have all been seduced by the legend. Today the grail quest can be found in films such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Excalibur, as well as Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
