Yanne Dimay - Celle qui écoutait les voix du monde

Maison d'Édition: ÉDITION 1 (Calmann Levy / Stock) Paris France.
La métamorphose d'une femme que rien ne destinait à écouter les voix du monde…
Anna Devers n'a plus rien à perdre. Elle est prête à tout accepter. Les aventures les plus insensées même. Au point d'aller jusqu'en Inde pour ramener la dépouille d'un inconnu à une mère éplorée.

Ainsi commence le voyage d'Anna…

Yanne DIMAY a été comédienne jusqu'en 1975. Des salles obscures parisiennes à la terre rouge d'Auroville, cité utopique située dans le sud de l'Inde, près de Pondichéry, elle a vécu pendant vingt ans une aventure spirituelle et humaine passionnante. Devenue écrivain et scénariste, elle partage aujourd'hui son temps entre les deux pays. Elle est l'auteur de trois romans, dont Les Montagnes bleues, qui a fait l'objet d'un téléfilm sur France 2.

Ann Riquier - Paroles de Tibétaines/Légende du Karmapa
Editions Plon (Paris) 1998/2000
Tr: Rowohlt Tashenbush Verlag (Ger) and Welcome Rain Editor (USA)
On the 12th of March 1959, the Tibetan women were the first to confront the invading Chinese Army, by means of protest. Yet over 40 years later they are still physically humiliated. In this book, three Tibetan women tell their life stories. In spite of heavy tortures and humiliations, these women have kept their dignity and sense of responsibility. Their strength: education, compassion.
Legende du Karmapa
The fourteen-year-old Tibetan Urgyen Trinley is allegedly the reincarnation of one of the highest religious dignitaries of Tibet, called the Karmapa.
In her book Ann investigates the arguments that surround his status - his recognition by the Dalai Lama, his acceptance by the Chinese government and the role in this of the Karma Kagyu Lineage holders. In the year 2000 the Karmapa crossed the Himalayas to come to Dharmsala. The book argues that this crossing over was an escape and states that it was China's intention to manipulate him to legitimize its seizure of Tibet.

Poetry in Spanish

Rumor de Silencio (and others) - Anandi
Self-published. (oop).
Born Argentina, Anandi wrote her first book "Cantos con piel" during 1973-80. Some poems were written when she was student in the "Instituto del Profesorado" in Buenos Aires, others in France and India.
"Rumor de Silencio", a bilingual Spanish-English volume of poetry (1982-85), was written in Auroville, where she stayed during eight years. It is dedicated to Mother.
"Cantos con Presencia" is dedicated to Sri Aurobindo, of whom Anandi writes: "Who has awakened the Presence in me". These are mystic poems with brief sound-images that give a sacred sense to daily life and transmit a profound gratitude to that embracing Divinity in everything.
"Monoso" is a small collection of children's poems with pronounced rhyme and rhythm, playfully illustrated by Aurovilian children. It is also bilingual English-Spanish.
