Ode to The Grand Spirit
Chingiz Aitmatov (1928-2008) and Daisaku Ikeda describe their work, Ode to the Grand Spirit, as a “fireside dialogue” between two weary travellers who have journeyed from afar over very different paths in life. “Thirst and an intolerable hunger torment” them, acknowledges Aitmatov. “I am talking, not about physical hunger, which is easily appeased, but spiritual hunger—the trials of attempting to comprehend existence.”
