“Тесла, портрет међу маскама” ускоро пред америчким читаоцима

У суботу 22. фебруара Српски културни клуб при бостонској цркви Свети Сава отворио је свој програм књижевних вечери ексклузивним гостовањем Владимира Пиштала, који је за роман “Тесла, портрет међу маскама” добио Нинову награду за роман године, као и награду Народне библиотеке Србије за најбољу и најчитанију књигу. Ова књига је постала култна међу српским читаоцима и доживела је шест штампаних издања, као и звучно издање у интерпретацији глумца Петра Божовића, а продата је у више од 20.000 примерака.

.

У завејаном Бостону Пиштало је напунио салу. Највећи део питања публике односио се на роман „Тесла, портрет међу маскама”, који је преведен на десет језика и већ је ушао и у читанке. За неколико месеци треба да буде представљен и америчким читаоцима у издању издавачке куће Граyњолф Прес.

У културном центру бостонских Срба велико интересовање је владало и за Пишталове култне романе „Миленијум у Београду”, „Венеција”, као и за збирке приповедака. На вечери су продате све књиге наручене преко океана за ту прилику!

On Divine Philanthropy

From Plato to John Chrysostom

by Bishop Danilo Krstic

This book describes the use of the notion of divine philanthropy from its first appearance in Aeschylos and Plato to the highly polyvalent use of it by John Chrysostom. Each page is marked by meticulous scholarship and great insight, lucidity of thought and expression. Bishop Danilo’s principal methodology in examining Chrysostom is a philological analysis of his works in order to grasp all the semantic shades of the concept of philanthropia throughout his vast literary output. The author overviews the observable development of the concept of philanthropia in a research that encompasses nearly seven centuries of literary sources. Peculiar theological connotations are studied in the uses of divine philanthropia both in the classical development from Aeschylos via Plutarch down to Libanius, Themistius of Byzantium and the Emperor Julian, as well as in the biblical development, especially from Philo and the New Testament through Origen and the Cappadocians to Chrysostom.

With this book, the author invites us to re-read Chrysostom’s golden pages on the ineffable philanthropy of God. "There is a modern ring in Chrysostom’s attempt to prove that we are loved—no matter who and where we are—and even infinitely loved, since our Friend and Lover is the infinite Triune God."

The victory of Chrysostom’s use of philanthropia meant the affirmation of ecclesial culture even at the level of Graeco-Roman culture. May we witness the same reality today in the modern techno-scientific world in which we live.
