Item Description
Receive a copy of The Dharma of Dragons and Daemons: Buddhist Themes in Modern Fantasy as well as a $25 gift card to use toward the purchase of other wonderful books and calendars from Wisdom Publications.
Many books are called groundbreaking, but this one is truly unique and sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in fantasy literature. It employs a Buddhist perspective to appreciate some of the major works of modern fantasy--and uses modern fantasy fiction to elucidate Buddhist teachings. In the tradition of David Loy's cutting-edge presentation of a Buddhist social theory in The Great Awakening, this pioneering work of Buddhist literary analysis, renowned scholar David Loy and Linda Goodhew offer ways of reading modern fantasy-genre fiction that illuminate both the stories themselves, and the universal qualities of Buddhist teachings. Authors examined include J.R.R. Tolkien, Philip Pullman (of The Amber Spyglass trilogy, from whose works the word "daemon" is borrowed in the title), Ursula K. LeGuin, and the anime movie Princess Mononoke.
Wisdom Publications is one of the most important publishers of dharma books in North America, with offerings from all traditions and a wide-range of subjects. From ancient texts to modern day applications, from traditional masters to youthful teachers, Wisdom Publications brings together cutting edge truth and faithfulness to the wisdom tradition of the Buddha.
