In this eagerly awaited follow-up to his international bestsellers
Anam Cara and Eternal Echoes, John O'Donohue turns his attention to
the subject of beauty - the divine beauty that calls the
imagination and awakens all that is noble in the human heart. In
these uncertain times of global conflict and crisis, we are riven
with anxiety; our trust in the future has lost its innocence, for
we know now that anything can happen from one second to the next.
In such an unsheltered world, it may sound naive to suggest that
this might be the moment to invoke and awaken beauty, yet this is
exactly the claim that this book seeks to explore. DIVINE BEAUTY is
a gentle but urgent call to awaken. O'Donohue opens our eyes,
hearts and minds to the wonder of our own relationship with beauty.
Rather than 'covering' this theme, he uncovers it, exposing the
infinity and mystery of its breadth. His words return us home to
the dignity of silence, the profundity of stillness, the power of
thought and perception, and the eternal grace and generosity of
beauty's presence. In this masterful and revelatory work, O'Donohue
encourages our greater intimacy with beauty, and celebrates it for
what it really is: a homecoming of the human spirit. As he focuses
on the classical, medieval and Celtic traditions, on art, music,
literature, nature and language, O'Donohue reveals how beauty's
invisible embrace invites us towards new heights of passion and
creativity. DIVINE BEAUTY is an exquisite treasury of Forms of the
Beautiful. Its surface employs narrative, image, anecdote and myth,
while into the silence of its subtext are sown seeds of reflection
that gradually blossom in the heart.
