"The coming of a spiritual age must be preceded by the appearance of an increasing number of individuals who are no longer satisfied with the normal intellectual, vital, and physical existence of man, but perceive that a greater evolution is the real goal of humanity and attempt to effect it in themselves, to lead others to it, and to make it the recognized goal of the race. In proportion as they succeed, and to the degree to which they carry this evolution, the yet unrealized potentiality which they represent will become the actual possibility of the future."
?Sri Aurobindo, The Human Cycle Sri Aurobindo stands out as one of the deepest and most profoundly relevant of contemporary Asian spiritual masters speaking to the West. His vision transcends the distinctive strengths and weaknesses of India and the West, and his discipline brings the yogas of the Gita to the task of world transformation.

His collaborator, The Mother, offers a blueprint for the utopian community Auroville, giving sage advice on the ideal of a spiritually based approach to education.

Robert McDermott's afterword in this revised edition recounts the increased significance of Aurobindo's message in the West?especially for America?since the book was first published in 1973.

Un volumen de relatos profundamente hermosos en los que Jodorowsky ofrece «las nubes de mi imaginación deshaciéndose en una lluvia de historias».

Alejandro Jodorowsky explica que, en su infancia, la lectura de cuentos «le impidió morir», ya que encontró un alimento que reencantó su difícil existencia. Desde entonces le gusta crear cuentos: cortos, largos, sabios o locos.

Los cuentos han vertebrado su vida y su trayectoria como escritor. Así, en 2005 publicó la antologíaEl tesoro de la sombra. El afán cuentista de Jodorowsky lo ha llevado a revisar y ampliar aquella compilación hasta prácticamente duplicar el volumen. EnLa vida es un cuentose cristaliza la inmensa sabiduría de este escritor, que cuestionándose sobre el sentido y lo absurdo de nuestro mundo aporta una divertida y surrealista lección vital.
