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

Born in 1933 in a small village in Korea's North Cholla Province, Ko Un grew up in a Japanese-controlled land that was soon to experience the horrors of the Korean War. 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.

"Bodhisattva of Korean poetry, exuberant, demotic, abundant, obsessed with poetic creation . . . Ko Un is a magnificent poet, combination of Buddhist cognoscente, passionate political libertarian, and naturalist historian."-Allen Ginsberg " Korea 's greatest living Zen poet."- Lawrence Ferlinghetti Flowers of a Moment is a treasure trove of more than 180 brief poems by a major world poet at the apex of his career. A four-time Nobel Prize nominee, Ko Un grew up in Korea during the Japanese occupation. During the Korean War, he was conscripted by the People's Army. In 1952, he became a Buddhist and lived a monastic life for ten years. For his activism confronting South Korea's dictatorial military government, he was imprisoned and tortured. He has published more than one hundred volumes of poetry, essays, fiction, drama, and translations of Chinese poetry.
