Northrop Frye Poradie kníh

Northrop Frye byl jedním z nejuznávanějších literárních vědců dvacátého století a přes padesát let význačným profesorem Torontské univerzity. Sám popsal Dvojí vidění jako „o něco kratší a přístupnější verzi“ Velkého kódu a jeho pokračování, Mocných slov. Dvojí vidění je Fryeovou poslední prací a v mnoha ohledech i jeho nejpřístupnější vydanou knihou. Pro ty, kdo se setkávají s tímto originálním myslitelem poprvé, nemůže být skvělejší úvod. A pro čtenáře na celém světě, kteří do Fryeova učení už pronikli, je tato útlá publikace vzácnou esencí autorových děl. Odrážejí se v ní vášně, které formovaly jeho život – literatura, mýtus, tvořivá obraznost – a jeho schopnost předávat tyto své vášně studentům a čtenářům po celém světě. Čtenář s jednoduchým viděním (jazyka, přírody, dějin a Boha) je ten, který směřuje ke zničení všeho lidsky nebo božsky smysluplného. Dvojí vidění v nás osvobozuje imaginativní a kreativní energii, abychom myslí a srdcem sami pochopili, že skrze lásku je možné všechno.
