Sbírka přináší poezii korejského básníka Ko Una, kandidáta na Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, který se během korejské války a další desetiletí potuloval po celé Koreji jako žebravý mnich. Koncem 60. let se přerodil v politického aktivistu a disidenta, čtyřikrát vězněného, ve třetím případě byl odsouzen na patnáct let. Dnes je ale Ko Un přítelem současného korejského prezidenta i řady dalších významných politických osobností. Ve svých básních však Ko Un rozvíjí především tradici korejské zenové poezie, založené na detailním a do paradoxů dovedeném zachycení scenérie či prožitku. V českém jazykovém prostředí je překladsoučasné buddhistické poezie výjimečným edičním počinem. source: http://www.bookdepository.com/Květy-okamžiku-Ko-Un/9788020411075

Without question, literature is the best place to start knowing and understanding one another. For isn't there a real fascinating connection between writers and place - where people come from and where they go? A very large part of a nation's writing is the story of its roots in a place and when Koreans come to our country, they bring with them the story of their roots in Korea.

He became a Buddhist monk in 1952 and began writing in the late 1950s. This is his major, ongoing work which began during his imprisonment with a determination to describe every person he had ever met. Maninbo, as it is known in Korea is now in its 20th volume and he has plans for five more before its completion. Collected here is a selection from the first 10 volumes.
