Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Thus. For eight years, Hugh Milne was personal bodyguard to Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the free-love guru who, at the height of his powers, owned 93 Rolls-Royces and who led his flock towards greater spiritual awareness through wholehearted sexual indulgence. Now, dismayed at the corruption he witnessed, Milne blows the lid off the infamous excesses of one of the most powerful and influential Indian mystics who, in 10 years, had built up a worldwide following and counted Royalty and movie stars among his converts. From the ecstatic early days in India where devotees wore the Hindu orange of purity while practising extremes of sexual licentiousness, to the more recent vicious power struggles in Oregon, Milne's story is at once compulsive and terrifying. -------------------------- 377 pages with b/w photographs ---------- Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.

Condition: Befriedigend. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 280 (8) Seiten. 18 cm. Austattung: Celestino Piatti. Befriedigender Zustand. Untere Buchecken gestaucht. Inhalt: Die Aktivisten: Arthur Koestler. Ignazio Silone. Richard Wright. Gläubige Jünger: André Gide. Louis Fischer. Stephen Spender." - Koestler, Arthur (eig. Köstler, Pseud. Iwan Steinberg), *5.9.1905 Budapest, 3.3.1983 London (Freitod). K., Sohn eines jüdisch-ungarischen Kaufmanns und einer Österreicherin, wuchs in Ungarn, Österreich und Deutschland auf. Er wuchs mit der ungarischen Sprache auf; nach dem 17.Lebensjahr sprach und schrieb er deutsch, seit 1940 benutzte er die englische Sprache. - Sein Ingenieurstudium an der TH in Wien (1922-26) brach er kurz vor dem Staatsexamen ab: er verbrannte sein Studienbuch und ging als Landstreicher nach Palästina. Nach Tätigkeiten dort als Kibbuznik, Architekt und Limonadenverkäufer wurde er Auslandskorrespondent (später auch wissenschaftlicher Korrespondent und Berater) beim Ullstein Verlag und verbrachte die Jahre 1926-31 in dieser Eigenschaft im Nahen Osten, Paris und Berlin. Sein leidenschaftlicher Einsatz für die zionistische Bewegung drückt sich literarisch vor allem in zwei Büchern aus: In Promise and Fulfilment (Versprechen und Erfüllung), wo er den Kampf in den Jahren 1919-49 um eine Heimat für das jüdische Volk im klaren Überblick darstellt, und in dem Roman Thieves in the Night. Ende 1931 trat K. der Kommunistischen Partei bei. Dieser Wendepunkt sowohl wie seine späteren Enttäuschungen über den Kommunismus und sein Austritt 1937 aus der Partei sind in knapper Form in seinem Beitrag zu dem Buch The God That Failed (Der Gott, der versagte) zusammengefaßt und ausführlicher behandelt im Schlußteil des ersten Bandes seiner Autobiographie, Arrow in the Blue, und im zweiten Band, The Invisible Writing. Vor allem aber bestimmte sie sein berühmtestes Werk, den politischen Roman Darkness at Noon. Im Spanischen Bürgerkrieg arbeitete K. als Korrespondent und Agent. Er wurde gefangengenommen und zum Tode verurteilt, nach mehreren Monaten aber nach Frankreich ausgetauscht. 1941/42 diente er als Freiwilliger in der französischen und britischen Armee. Bis zu seinem Tode lebte K. in London und schrieb vornehmlich halbwissenschaftliche Bücher über psychologische und evolutionstheoretische Themen. - K.s Romanwerk dreht sich, wie der Autor selbst erläuterte, wesentlich um die Fragen, ob grundsätzlich der Zweck die Mittel heiligt, inwiefern dem einzelnen für das Wohlergehen aller Leid zugefügt werden darf, warum revolutionäre Bewegungen "als frischer Bergquell beginnen und als verschmutzte Flüsse voller Leichen enden". Die Revolutionsthematik beherrscht K.s erste drei Romane: The Gladiators hat das Scheitern des Spartakusaufstands zum Gegenstand, Darkness at Noon die Moskauer Prozesse und Arrival and Departure eine Individualentscheidung zwischen hedonistischer Selbsterfüllung und politischem Engagement. Am eindringlichsten geschildert ist das Schicksal des bolschewistischen Revolutionärs Rubaschow (Darkness at Noon), der den stalinistischen Säuberungen zum Opfer fällt. Obwohl Rubaschow objektiv unschuldig ist, gesteht er die Verbrechen ein, weil er der Partei einen letzten Dienst erweisen will. Die Revolution frißt ihre Kinder. In dem Roman spiegelt sich K.s Entwicklung zum überzeugten Revisionisten. Autorenlexikon/Systhema. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 205 Taschenbuch. Kartoniert. Laminiert. Glanzfolienkaschierung.
