Doručak s Buddhom

Doručak s Buddhom

Roland Merullo

Rimpoche svakim danom zajedničkog putovanja pomalo i nenametljivo otvara Ottov oklop tvrdokornog skeptika i upoznaje ga s duhovnom dimenzijom života.

Otto Ringling, glavni lik i pripovjedač ovog romana ceste, intelektualac i uvjereni skeptik, sredovječni je pripadnik američke više srednje klasne, urednik njujorškog izdavača specijaliziranog za kuharice i knjige o hrani, muž i otac dvoje tinejdžera. Radnja romana započinje nakon pogibije njegovih roditelja u prometnoj nesreći u rodnoj Sjevernoj Dakoti, jer on i njegova sestra Cecelia moraju tamo otputovati kako bi sredili sve formalnosti oko nasljedstva vrijednog milijun dolara. Budući da Cecelia ima strah od letjenja, dogovore se da će putovati autom. Cecelia ipak iznevjeri dogovor i jedva nagovori Otta da umjesto nje u Sjevernu Dakotu poveze poznatog duhovnog učitelja Volya Rinpochea, njenog gurua, kojem želi prepustiti veći dio svog nasljedstva. Kad je već pristao da vožnju od šest dana i gotovo 3000 kilometara provede sa slavnim ali za njega nepoznatim i zagonetnim suputnikom, Otto odluči pokazati mu ono najbolje od svoje domovine i dobro se s njim zabaviti i pomalo privoljeti za američki stil života, ali istodobno s tim procesom počinje i onaj obrnuti.
