«La sabiduría de los cuentos» is the anthology of tales with commentaries by Alejandro Jodorowsky, in paperback (Ediciones Obelisco, 208 pages, Spanish).
A selection of Sufi, Taoist, Jewish, Buddhist and Hindu stories, commented on by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The author presents them as a path to knowledge: beneath their simple appearance lie deep readings, sometimes opposed to the literal sense, and a call to look at reality with different eyes. The book also recalls the peaceful coexistence of Christians, Muslims and Jews in past eras.
Published in 2006, it belongs to the Narrativa collection of Ediciones Obelisco, with translation by Laura Robecchi.
Aimed at readers interested in spirituality, initiatory narrative and Jodorowsky's popularizing side.
Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky is a Chilean and French avant-garde filmmaker. Known for his films El Topo (1970), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Santa Sangre (1989), Jodorowsky has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation".
