br. Nato in Vietnam nel 1926, Thich Nhat Hanh ha vissuto la devastazione del suo Paese a causa dei conflitti che l'hanno martoriato. Monaco dall'età di sedici anni, questo grande maestro zen ha sempre considerato l'azione politica e sociale come inseparabile dalla pratica spirituale. Costretto all'esilio per il suo impegno nonviolento contro la repressione e la guerra, ha diffuso in tutto il mondo il suo insegnamento di pace fondato sulla compassione e sulla «piena consapevolezza». Questa prima dettagliata biografia del maestro, corredata da un'appendice con documenti originali, rivela tutta la ricchezza e la complessità del suo cammino, dal periodo drammatico della guerra in Vietnam all'amicizia con Martin Luther King, dall'impegno a diffondere il buddhismo zen in Europa e negli Stati Uniti all'attivismo instancabile che lo ha portato a prendere posizione sui grandi problemi del nostro tempo. Un attivismo che non è venuto meno neanche negli ultimi anni, in cui, pur debilitato dalla malattia, Thich Nhat Hanh continua a essere una fonte di ispirazione per migliaia di persone in tutto il mondo.

ril. Il Martire della Carità, san Massimiliano Maria Kolbe (1894-1941), nei pochi anni che gli furono concessi per la sua avventura terrena prima di morire nel campo di concentramento di Auschwitz, ebbe una vita piena e feconda. Fu missionario, frate francescano, evangelizzatore, riformatore religioso e grande devoto della Vergine. Ha lasciato in eredità un'ampia messe di scritti per lo più in polacco (la sua lingua madre), italiano e latino. Negli anni '50 il pubblico anglofono poté avere solo un piccolo assaggio delle parole del santo, ma oggi può finalmente godere di un'opera completa in due volumi che raccoglie tutti i suoi scritti. Curati da Antonella Di Piazza, i testi di questo imponente lavoro sono corredati da note accurate, indici tematici e soprattutto dalla brillante presentazione di padre Giuseppe Simbula. Dal momento che la sua vita frenetica non permise a san Massimiliano di redigere una vera e propria Summa del proprio credo, questo lavoro rappresenta un'efficace sintesi del pensiero kolbiano e dei suoi valori senza tempo. Nuova edizione aggiornata rispetto alla precedente del 2016.
