Anam Cara

About the Book

In this eagerly awaited follow-up to his international bestsellers Anam ara and Eternal Echoes, John O’Donohue turns his attention to the subject of beauty - the divine beauty that calls the imagination and awakens all that is noble in the human heart.

In these uncertain times, we are riven with anxiety; our trust in the future has lost its innocence, for we know now that anything can happen from one second to the next. In such an unsheltered world, it may sound naive to suggest that this might be the moment to invoke and awaken beauty, yet this is exactly the claim that this book seeks to explore.

Masterfully written, Divine Beauty focuses on the classical, medieval and Celtic traditions and reveals how beauty’s invisible embrace invites us towards new heights of passion and creativity. It also sets us free to discover the wonders of this world as our journey becomes illuminated upon a bright path between source and horizon, awakening and surrender.
