Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. On a pilgrimage to see the Dalai Lama in the foothills of the Himalayas; blissed out in Germany with a beautiful Indian girl, believed to be 'the Divine Mother'; witnessing miracles in the ashram of Sai Baba, and searching for the Messiah in the back streets of London - the spiritual tourist is the Candide of the age, on a voyage of inner search and illumination. The spiritual quest - a yearning for a sense of the sacred - has become a leitmotif of 20th century life as we head for the Millennium. In his vivid, interrogative and highly entertaining book, Mick Brown joins the holy, the lost, the wise and the foolish on the highways and backroads of spiritual tourism. Whether confronting the mystical, the miraculous or the frankly unbelievable, the book is an 'adventure of the spirit' for Mick Brown himself, a writer who researches with a passionate engagement, and reports with candour, wit and clarity. For anyone engaged on the search, perplexed or simply amused by it, there could be no better spiritual tourist guide. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Zustand: Wie neu. Erste Auflage dieser Ausgabe. 324 Seiten. 19,8 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. Nick Brown's entertaining journey into contemporary expressions of spirituality starts with bemused reports of alleged miracles in dreary North London suburbs and the appearance of Christ in the East End. The author's respect for the intensity of belief in such stories leads him to a journey along the Indian spiritual trail, where he stays among the passionate followers of the self-proclaimed deity, Sai Babi. There is a brief trip to Tennessee to witness more alleged miraculous signs, but the tone is markedly more skeptical here. The book is at its most interesting when it provides the history of the Western "prophets" of Eastern spirituality, tracing the claims of Mr. Creme in North London in the 1990s back to the story of the founding of the Theosophical Society in the 1880s by Madame Blavatsky. This hashish-smoking, circus-performing Russian occultist was condemned as an outrageous fraud in 1884, yet Theosophy has spawned an influential set of beliefs that clearly inform current New Age thinking. Mick Brown retains a healthy skepticism about some claims, but he also professes that he has "come to believe that the world is more of spirit than of matter", and so he respects rather than vilifies those he meets. The result lies somewhere between Fortean weirdness and genuine spiritual searching. --Roger Luckhurst Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 279.
