The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky - Alejandro Jodorowsky
In 1970, John Lennon introduced to the world Alejandro Jodorowsky and the movie, El Topo,that he wrote, starred in, and directed. The movie and its author instantly became a counterculture icon. The New York Timessaid the film "demands to be seen," and Newsweekcalled it "An Extraordinary Movie!" But that was only the beginning of the story and the controversy of El Topo, and the journey of its brilliant creator. His spiritual quest began with the Japanese master Ejo Takata, the man who introduced him to the practice of meditation, Zen Buddhism, and the wisdom of the koans. Yet in this autobiographical account of his spiritual journey, Jodorowsky reveals that it was a small group of wisewomen, far removed from the world of Buddhism, who initiated him and taught him how to put the wisdom he had learned from his master into practice. At the direction of Takata, Jodorowsky became a student of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, thus beginning a journey in which vital spiritual lessons were transmitted to him by various women who were masters of their particular crafts. These women included Doña Magdalena, who taught him "initiatic" or spiritual massage; the powerful Mexican actress known as La Tigresa ... Unknown localization key: "more"

This perspective also underlies his healing technique known as psychomagic, which uses the symbolism of the unconscious to understand and mend reality as if it were a dream.In The Way of Imagination, the master offers a detailed exploration of the mechanisms by which psychomagic works to heal our most pressing emotional and spiritual wounds. He describes the initial stages of psychomagic’s development into a practice and how he crafted the first psychomagic prescriptions to speak directly to the subconscious through the language of dreams. Above all, Jodorowsky explains, psychomagic is a therapy of action, rather than one of words.Sharing passionate correspondence between himself and patients and admirers in the form of 84 letters, the author demonstrates how people have ...

Šílená ze Sacré-Coeur - Moebius, Alejandro Jodorowsky
Pro Alaina Mangela, emeritního profesora ze Sorbonny, sex ztratil veškerý živočišný význam a stal se zdrojem posvátné energie. Začal se oblékat do fialové, která je barvou spirituální otevřenosti, a skoncoval jednou provždy s erekcí. Ne že by byl impotentní, ale svou pohlavnost daroval Bohu. Už se ani nepovažuje za člověka, ale za "duchovního". Vrátil se k nejčiřejší formě judaismu jako k cestě ke svatosti, vrhl se cele do studia talmudu a otevřel srdce slovům proroků. Jenže pak se všechno pokazilo, Alaina Mangela opustila žena, studenti ho zavrhli jako zpátečníka, který žvaní o barvotiskovém duchovnu… Jen mladá Elizabeth v něm probudila démona chlípnosti, ačkoli ji žádal, ať mu pomáhá odolávat pokušení... Eli-za-bet: neznamená to hebrejsky doslova "prorokův dům"?

Poslední Incal - váz. - Moebius, Alejandro Jodorowsky, José Ladrönn
John Difool, detektiv třídy R., se vrací, aby znovu (velice nedobrovolně) zachránil vesmír. Tentokrát před vše požírajícím kovovým virem. Jen si musí vzpomenout, co je on sám vlastně zač, najít lásku svého života a vypořádat se se svými dalšími podobami. Alejandro Jodorowsky se vrací, aby zakončil svou epickou vesmírnou sérii, ve které se space-opera mísí s mystikou a technika s tarotem. Jeho mytologické dílo se tady završuje v tom nejmonumentálnějším stylu. Navíc při jeho tvorbě spojil síly s malířskou legendou - Eisnerovou cenou ověnčeným kreslířem Ladrönnem. Souborné vydání všech tří alb v jednom svazku, doplněné o původní verzi prvního dílu kresleného Moebiem.

Borgia - brož. - Alejandro Jodorowsky, Milo Manara
Poznejte skutečnou tvář renesance. Takovou, o které vás ve škole neučili. Renesance, která přináší rozkvět umění a úpadek morálky. Renesance s krví na rukách.Renesance v podání dvou komiksových velmistrů. Ještě před tím, než začaly vznikat o „první zločinecké rodině světa“, papežské rodině, která na konci patnáctého století nelítostně ovládala celou Itálii, hvězdně obsazené seriály, ještě před tím se sešly dvě největší komiksové legendy, aby zpracovaly tuhle fascinující látku po svém. Do profilu rodiny Borgiů se pustil mystik, filozof, skladatel, režisér a uctívaný scenárista Alejandro Jodorowsky (Incal, Metabaroni) a král elegantního erotického komiksu a přítel Frederika Felliniho Milo Manara. Už ti dva samostatně si zasluhují absolutní pozornost (o čemž se v případě Jodorowského už mohli čtenáři přesvědčit magickým Incalem... a na příští rok se od něj chystají Metabaroni) – a což teprve, když se dají dohromady. To pak vznikne něco, co prostě nemůže nikdo minout. Čtyřdílný historický epos Borgia. Monumentální, krutý, smyslný, překrásný a nezapomenutelný.

Psychomagie - Alejandro Jodorowsky
Jsme nemocní. I když navenek můžeme překypovat zdravím, každý si v sobě nese nějaké trauma - nejčastěji z útlého dětství - které mu brání plně se realizovat a vést šťastný a plnohodnotný život. Alejandru Jodorowskymu během bouřlivého a plodného života pod rukama vykrystalizovala svérázná terapeutická metoda, kterou nazývá "psychomagie". S traumaty a psychickými poruchami se nesnaží bojovat represivními postupy medicíny, ale prostřednictvím imaginace, umění, tvůrčího přístupu a kontaktu s nevědomím. Jodorowsky nechce být guru ani postmoderní šaman s iPhonem a obrázkem Panenky Marie. Je znalcem náboženských a hermetických tradic, ale neváže se na ně. Snaží se být "civilním světcem", který si za svou terapeutickou praxi nenechává platit ničím jiným než dopisy klientů. Některé z nich obsahuje i tato kniha.

Papež ukrutný - Alejandro Jodorowsky
Je srpen roku 1503 a umírá papež Alexandr VI., vlastním jménem Rodrigo Borgia. To je ta pravá chvíle pro zapřisáhlé nepřátele Borgiů, rod della Rovere, aby se intrikami a sliby, jež nehodlají dodržet, pokusili papežský stolec obsadit sami. Giulianovi della Rovere se to také zdaří a stane se z něj papež Julius II. Tím ale boj mezi rody nekončí… Českému čtenáři důvěrně známý Alejandro Jodorowsky má v úmyslu zachytit bouřlivé dějiny Vatikánu v patnáctém a raném šestnáctém století ve volné trilogii, kterou započal sérií Borgia a v níž pokračuje zde. Také pro tento příběh ze středověké Itálie využil služeb italského kreslíře. Theo (Theo Caneschi, Toskánsko 1973) je specialista na historické komiksy: jeho Hliněný trůn se odehrává za stoleté války, po Delabym převzal kresbu zatím posledního dílu série Murena, která se odehrává ve starém Římě. Obsahuje čtyři původně samostatné alba (Le pape terrible 1: Della Rovere, Le pape terrible 2: Jules II, Le pape terrible 3: La pernicieuse vertu, Le pape terrible 4: L'Amour est aveugle) v jedné knize.

Nekonečný tyátr - Alejandro Jodorowsky
Nekonečný tyátr poprve seznamuje české čtenáře s divadelní tvorbou filmového i divadelního režiséra, literárního a dramatického autora Alejandra Jodorowského. Jsou zde zastoupeny rané texty z doby jeho spolupráce s mimem Marcelem Marceauem i texty z šedesátých let, která strávil v Mexiku jako divadelní režisér soudobé dramatické avantgardy (F. Arrabal, E. Ionesco, J. Genet, L. Carringtonová aj.) i svých vlastních divadelních textů (Zaratušra). Později začíná teoreticky promýšlet a pořádat jednorázová "efemérní" vystoupení, která se svými východisky blíží paralelně vznikajícímu "happeningu" a jejichž potenciál se naplno rozvine ve chvíli, kdy společně s Ferdinandem Arrabalem a Rolandem Toporem zakládá tzv. Panické hnutí (tomu je zde věnováno hned několik podstatných teoretických a manifestačně se vyhraňujících statí - Panická metoda, Panický princip a pečená kuřata, Odstraňme divadlo z divadla! a Efemérní panické akty). Do stejného období patří i texty, které se snaží o praktická uplatňování východisek postulovaných v principech Panického hnutí (Tunel, který požírá svůj vlastní ocas a Napravený slídil). Na počátku sedmdesátých let se Jodorowsky natrvalo usazuje ve Francii a věnuje se převážně filmu a psaní komiksů. K divadlu se ale pravidelně vrací prostřednictvím regulérních dramatických textů (Nekonečný sen, Královská krev, Škola břichomluvectví, Tři stařeny a Hypermarket).

Tanec reality - Alejandro Jodorowsky
Jodorowského autobiografický román nabízí pohled do mysli a života tohoto překypujícího autora. Sledujeme jeho lidskou, duchovní a mystickou cestu od raného dětství a dospívání, po vývoj jeho psychomagických a metagenealogických praktik prostřednictvím jeho poznání, že všechny problémy jsou zakořeněny v našem rodokmenu. Odhaluje mytické modely a rodinné šablony, na nichž jsou založeny události každodenního života a prostřednictvím živých příkladů z vlastního života, zejména vztahů s otcem a matkou, vysvětluje, jak cesta jedince k opravdovému naplnění znamená odhazování fantomů projektovaných rodiči na jejich děti. Tanec reality je autobiografie jako léčebný akt. Ohlédnout se zpět do vlastní minulosti je obdobou hloubení v našich vlastních duších. Pokud dokážeme kopat dostatečně hluboko, tak kromě rodinných projekcí najdeme vnitřní světlo - světlo, které nám může pomoci při nejtěžších životních zkouškách. Podle této knihy Jodorowsky natočil stejnojmenný film, uvedený na filmovém festivalu v Cannes v roce 2013.

Juan Solo - Alejandro Jodorowsky, Georges Bess
Další dosud česky nevydané významné dílo velikánů evropského i světového komiksu se tentokrát vyhýbá všem žánrovým formám, není to SF, fantasy ani western, ale příběh z fiktivní jihoamerické diktatury. Přesto tu najdeme motivy typické pro oba autory. Juan Solo je nalezenec, který si buduje postavení mezi vyvrheli a zločinci a který postupně stoupá stále výš po společenském žebříčku zkorumpované země. Nakonec jej ale vlastní minulost i dlouho popírané lidství dostihnou a promění ve smutnou mesiášskou postavu, která se obětuje za druhé. Bess je v tomto mistrovském komiksovém díle devadesátých let ve své vrcholné tvůrčí formě a Jodorowsky žongluje s archetypy lidské povahy, mytologií, víry a legend tak zručně, jak to umí snad jen on.

Trochu metabaron, hodně psychopat – Showman Killer, nový antihrdina jodoversa! Nájemný zabiják bez srdce, bez emocí, schopný zlikvidovat kohokoliv, pokud mu za to dobře zaplatíte. Miluje pouze peníze, není věrný nikomu… jenže najednou se ocitá ve víru galaktického dění, kdy musí ochraňovat malé dítě a celý vesmír! A to bez zvláštního příplatku!Showman Killer je velkolepý a uzavřený akční sci-fi příběh z pera Alejandra Jodorowského. Svým stylem připomíná příběhy z Kasty metabaronů, jen je tady vidět větší hraní si s žánrem. I když je hrdina mocný, nelítostný a vybavený nadlidskými schopnostmi, jeho povahové slabosti vnášejí do příběhu u Jodorowského ne zas tak často vídaný humor. Nadhled prostupuje celým příběhem, jenž se nevyhýbá ironii, satiře, ani čistě komediálním scénám. Autor si dělá legraci z církve, ze současné civilizace, ale hlavně sám ze sebe, ze svých nadlidských postav a stylu.Ten jen podtrhuje Nicolas Fructus, který se tady mohl opravdu vyřádit a užít si jak monumentální bojové scény, tak dialogy, vtipy či utrpení, které hrdina prožívá, když musí utrácet své pracně nastřádané peníze.V této knize najdete všechny tři původní díly: Hrdina bez srdce, Zlaté dítě a Neviditelná žena.

Kdeže ptáče nejlíp pěje - Alejandro Jodorowsky
Román Alejandra Jodorowského Kdeže ptáče nejlíp pěje je považován za vrchol dosavadní prozaické tvorby tohoto polyedrického autora původem z jihoamerického Chile. V sevřené narativní formě se zde díky autorově originální, bájivé fantazii rozvíjí příběhy několika generací autorových sefardských a aškenázkých židovských předků, kteří na své pouti ze středověkého Španělska, přes Itálii, Litvu a Ukrajinu až do Argentiny a Chile počátku dvacátého století procházejí soustavnou řadou bizardních událostí, v nichž se mísí historie, mýtus, šílenství a surrealistická fantasmagorie. Vyprávěním defilují zázrační rabíni, šarlatáni, podvodníci, světci, cirkusáci, anarchisté, tanečníci, básníci, policisté, prostitutky, panovníci a politici, celé panoptikum postav pevně propojených vyprávěním, které s obdivuhodnou lehkostí a podmanivým magnetismem mísí evropskou historii s kánony chasídských legend a latinskoamerického magického realismu. Kniha, krom toho, že je výtečným románem, odrážejícím drsné sociální podmínky osidlování Jižní Ameriky, se zároveň snaží být i popisem formativní zkušenosti a konkrétním návodem na to, jak zacházet s rodinnými příběhy a s materiálem genealogického stromu každého čtenáře tak, aby přestaly být pastí stereotypních modelů a prostřednictvím psychomagické transfigurace se pro ně staly zdrojem emotivního bohatství a popudem k neustávajícímu vnitřnímu růstu. Román byl poprve publikován v roce 1992 a v českém překladu vychází poprvé.

Megalex (brož.) (Mistrovská díla evropského komiksu) - Alejandro Jodorowsky, Fred Beltran
Kdysi to byla kvetoucí planeta kypící životem. Teď? Pravidelná síť uniformních městských bloků, ve kterých žijí obyvatelé vzešlí z klonovacích „porodnic“ a s přidělenou délkou života. Pro ty nejnižší kasty jen pár set dní, pro urozené a mocné stovky let a pro tyranskou vládnoucí rodinu – kdo ví, snad tisíce a tisíce let? Ale ještě jsou tu hlubiny oceánu, a hlavně poslední les, který se zatím nepodařilo zničit. Tam někde, a také v nitru lidského genetického kódu, se skrývá naděje. A dost možná tam žijí i tvorové, kteří si i po dlouhé době útlaku hýčkají plán, jak tyranii svrhnout. Působivé dílo Alejandra Jodorowského a kreslíře Freda Beltrana používá mnoho prvků, které známe z univerza Incalu, ale i když je možná zasazeno do téhož imaginárního světa, jedná se o zcela samostatný a uzavřený příběh.

The Masnavi, Book Six - Jalal al-Din Rumi
''Until effaced no one can actuallyEnter the Court of Holy Majesty.What is the meaning of the heavenly ascension?Non-being: the mystics'' law school and religion.''Rumi is the greatest mystic poet to have written in Persian, and The Masnavi is his masterpiece. Divided into six books and consisting of some 26,000 verses, the poem was designed to convey teachings about divine love and unity to the disciples of the Sufi order that he founded, best known today as the Whirling Dervishes. Like the earlier books, Book Six interweaves amusing stories with homilies and lyrical flights.
