O knihe
George William Russell, better known as Æ (1867-1935), mystic, poet, painter, journalist, editor, and practical rural economist, was a pivotal figure in the Irish literary revival and in the emergence of modern Ireland.
From the beginning of the twentieth century he formed life-long friendships with W. B. Yeats, George Moore, Lord Dunsany, James Stephens, Stephen Mackenna (translator of the Enneads of Plotinus), James Joyce, and other writers, thinkers, and artists, and was closely associated with the Irish National Theatre Society (later the Abbey Theatre). Russell's influence was as extensive in practical and political affairs as it was in the more intimate spiritual domain. The length and breadth of his thinking on the social issues of his day, which are only heightened in ours, is evident in this present work.
Monk Gibbon, uniquely qualified to present to readers the full spectrum of Æ's colors, has written an extensive and illuminating introductory essay that serves to set the scene for the wonderful series of short selections that follow, selections that make clear the extraordinary width, depth, and breadth of Æ's spirit. The title of this work, The Living Torch, is indeed no metaphor in this instance.
