Ciro Spitama, discendente diretto del sacerdote Zoroastro profeta dell'Unico Dio, ambasciatore del re di Persia ad Atene, ormai giunto al crepuscolo dei suoi anni detta le proprie memorie al nipote Democrito. Ecco i Grandi della storia che hanno avuto a che fare con l'anziano ambasciatore come fosse un loro pari: Serse, grande amico dai tempi della comune educazione alla corte di Susa, destinato a sedere sul trono di Persia; la regina Atossa, che ammalia con i suoi racconti, scrigno di tutti i segreti dell'Impero; Buddha, che Ciro Spitama incontra nel folto di un bosco indiano, e Confucio, conosciuto sulle sponde del Fiume Giallo in Catai. Ha viaggiato e visto, Ciro Spitama, al servizio della corte persiana, fino all'approdo ad Atene, allora al massimo del suo fulgore. Ed ecco, ad Atene, Pericle, di cui si guadagna la stima, Anassagora, compagno di desco, ed Erodoto, avversario in schermaglie polemiche. Un giovane e brillante carpentiere di nome Socrate gli ripara il muro della villa con vista sull'Acropoli, e con lui discute di filosofia. E in ogni luogo, a ogni incontro, sono sempre gli stessi interrogativi immortali, nati assieme all'uomo, che dominano la conversazione: com'è stato creato l'universo, e a quale scopo? E perché il male è stato creato insieme al bene? Vidal affronta tali temi senza che la sua sensibilità contemporanea interferisca col rigore storico, offrendoci così un efficacissimo spaccato del pensiero del tempo.

Very Good German Paperbaack. Large demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In German. 64, [4] p. Die Katha-Upanishad. The Katha-Upanishad is one of the mukhya (primary) Upanishads, embedded in the last short eight sections of the Ka?ha school of the Krishna Yajurveda. It is also known as Ka?haka Upanishad, and is listed as number 3 in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads. The Katha Upanishad consists of two chapters (Adhyayas), each divided into three sections (Vallis). The first Adhyaya is considered to be of older origin than the second. The Upanishad is the legendary story of a little boy, Nachiketa - the son of Sage Vajasravasa, who meets Yama (the Indian deity of death). Their conversation evolves to a discussion of the nature of man, knowledge, Atman (Soul, Self) and moksha (liberation). The chronology of Katha Upanishad is unclear and contested, with Buddhism scholars stating it was likely composed after the early Buddhist texts (fifth century BCE), and Hinduism scholars stating it was likely composed before the early Buddhist texts in 1st part of 1st millennium BCE. The Kathaka Upanishad is an important ancient Sanskrit corpus of the Vedanta sub-schools, and an influential Sruti to the diverse schools of Hinduism. It asserts that "Atman (Soul, Self) exists", teaches the precept "seek Self-knowledge which is Highest Bliss", and expounds on this premise like the other primary Upanishads of Hinduism. The Upanishad presents ideas that contrast Hinduism with Buddhism's assertion that "Soul, Self does not exist", and Buddhism's precept that one should seek "Emptiness (Sunyata) which is Highest Bliss". The detailed teachings of Katha Upanishad have been variously interpreted, as Dvaita (dualistic) and as Advaita (non-dualistic).
