The mountaintop retreat--nominally founded by the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin (at a time when it was still known as Monescia) in the 1870s--flourished between 1900 and 1940, when it attracted anarchists, nudists, and Theosophists alongside such figures as Martin Buber, Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Rudolf von Laban, Isadora Duncan, Hermann Hesse (who famously had his alcoholism treated there), and the sexual revolutionary Otto Gross. I was delighted to see some of my own personal favorites make this book list, among them: Black Elk Speaks (Fine Communications), The Myth of the Eternal Return (Princeton Press) by Mircea Eliade, Siddhartha (Bantam) by Hermann Hesse, The Autobiography of Malcolm X (African American Images), Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Bantam) by Robert Pirsig, and Night (Bantam) by Elie Wiesel. Apparently written under the influence of the complete works of Hermann Hesse, ``Autobiography of a Yogi'' and ``I'm OK, You're OK,'' plus other examples of Goa beach reading circa 1974, the disc does go on a bit. |
