Mahoma: Una historia del último profeta (Muhammad: A Story of the Last Prophet)

Deepak Chopra nos ofrece la apasionante vida de uno de los profetas más grandes: Mahoma.

Esposo y padre de familia, Dios le habla a través del arcángel Gabriel para encomendarle una peligrosa tarea: convencer a su pueblo de que renuncie a sus ídolos ancestrales y a la veneración de múltiples dioses para confiar en un dios único.

Huérfano desde los seis años, Mahoma creció en una enorme familia, convirtiéndose en un excelente comerciante. Si bien Mahoma no se consideraba el hijo de Dios ni un iluminado, esta magnífica novela da cuenta de la vida de un ser humano ordinario, al que le ocurrió algo totalmente extraordinario que dio origen a una nueva religión, el islam, la segunda en importancia hoy en todo el mundo.

Partiendo de detalles históricos, Deepak Chopra hace vivir al profeta a través de los ojos de quienes lo rodeaban. Cada voz, cada capítulo nos ofrece la vida de Mahoma y la creación del islam bajo una nueva luz. Es la historia poco conocida de un hombre y un momento histórico que cambiaron el mundo para siempre.

Reseñas:

«Una de las biografías de Mahoma más imaginativas y emocionantes».
Publishers Weekly

«El libro ofrece al lector una lección de historia que refleja la actual relación entre el islam y el resto del mundo... Contada de manera atrayente, también ayuda, especialmente a los no musulmanes, a entender mejor las complejidades y contradicciones que rodean al islam».
Booklist

«Estoy agradecido porque Deepak Chopra, en vez de agregar una inútil biografía más de Mahoma, ha creado en cambio una absorbente novela basada en la vida de Mahoma. Los lectores van a estar mejor informados tanto sobre el profeta como sobre el islam, la segunda religión más grande del mundo».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this riveting novel, beloved international bestselling author Deepak Chopra captures the spellbinding life story of the great and often misunderstood Prophet. Islam was born in a cradle of tribal turmoil, and the arrival of one God who vanquished hundreds of ancient Arabian gods changed the world forever. God reached down into the life of Muhammad, a settled husband and father, and spoke through him. Muhammad's divine and dangerous task was to convince his people to renounce their ancestral idols and superstitious veneration of multiple gods. From the first encounter, God did not leave Muhammad alone, his life was no longer his own, and with each revelation the creation of a new way of life formed and a religion was born. Rooted in historical detail, Chopra reveals the fact that Muhammad's life is not a myth but an incredible true and surprisingly unknown story of a man and a moment that sparked a worldwide transformation.

About the Author

The practice of holistic and mind-body medicine has long been a controversial subject among medical professionals. Some view it as a healthy and natural alternative to chemical pharmaceuticals. Others see it as a system of placebos and new-age chicanery. No matter where one stands on this issue, there is no denying the influence that mind, body, and spirit practitioner Deepak Chopra has had on the world of medicine.

Chopra's bestselling books on a variety of topics have been translated into 35 languages. His lectures, seminars, and learning materials are immensely popular, as are his television specials for PBS. In addition, he has founded his own medical center called the Chopra Center for Well Being and has won fans amongst celebrities ranging from Prince Charles to Mikhail Gorbachev to Demi Moore to David Lynch. When financier/philanthropist Michael Milken was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he claimed that Chopra's holistic methods shrunk his lymph nodes by 90%.

Chopra's interest in alternative medicine initially grew out of concern for his own health. After moving from India to set up a practice medicine in Boston some 25 years ago, Chopra succumbed to many of the stresses that plague medical professionals. As a result, he guzzled coffee, chain-smoked, and drank heavily. Once he began studying eastern philosophies by way of Krishnamurti and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, he became aware of medical practices outside of the sometimes limited western perspective. This awakening changed his life.

While Chopra is viewed as a major proponent of the role of Eastern philosophies in healing, he does not reject western medicine. In fact, what makes his approach so unique is the way he incorporates the best aspects of western medical research into his theories. This amalgamation of medical philosophies is at the root of self-help volumes like Restful Sleep, Perfect Weight, and Boundless Energy. Elsewhere, Chopra has addressed such diverse issues as reversing the aging process (Ageless Body, Timeless Mind), perfecting personal relationships (The Path to Love), and achieving capitalist goals via Eastern philosophies (The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success).

Chopra has also become concerned with the causes of war and violence and the principles of Eastern religions, especially Buddhism, and his books on these subjects have garnered praise from such major international figures as the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, and Boutros-Boutros Ghali. Consequently, Chopra continues to play a significant role in world health and world politics in spite of detractors and skeptics. With an immense body of work behind him and more volumes of wisdom sure to follow, he continues to preach the simple philosophy he is certain is the key to understanding ourselves, mentally and physically: "We're not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences, it's the other way around: we're spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences."
