Book Description

A restless wizard casts a spell, stars move ominously, and the story of Pelenor, the lost prince, begins. The old wizard had known for ages that real magic comes to those who first relish the magic of simple life. True wizards develop an extraordinary interest in the ordinary. But the old wizard wondered: what then does it mean to be interested? What power calls us and takes hold of us when we feel an interest? How does one feel more interested in the simplest of things? How does one listen to the nature of life? The wizard is led through dreams to the story of Pelenor, the unsteady, orphan voice in our hearts that cries for awakening, the forgotten prince. Abandoned by his father because he was inconvenient, living on the edge of a decaying kingdom, he is forced to flee when civil war erupts. Replete with magic, swashbuckling, and questions about the purpose of being, the story follows Pelenor's vagabond journey as he seeks for awakening.

Book Description

Whilst serving in the Soviet army in 1973, Sergei Ovsiannikov was arrested and imprisoned for acts of disobedience under military command. It was while in prison, like Solzhenitsyn and Dostoevsky, that he began to ponder deeper issues and on release trained to be a Russian orthodox priest. This extraordinary but short book is about his search for true freedom. The issues he wrestles with are profound and, like any confrontation with truth, it caused him great anguish and pain. As Ovsiannikov wrote: 'It was in my prison cell that I lost fear. I realised that if they sent me to a labour camp with a long sentence, it did not matter because I was free. Of course subsequently I came to realise that freedom is not given, you have to take responsibility for it.' It was during this time that he discovered Christianity and decided that this was the real meaning of his life. Later, after a period spent with the Russian Orthodox community in London, Ovsiannikov lived for the last twenty years of his life in Amsterdam in charge of the Russian Orthodox community. Drawing heavily on Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Pushkin and translated from the original Russian by celebrated translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky with an introduction by Rowan Williams, this brief spiritual book is a small masterpiece of its kind.
