『연금술사』 이후 20년, 의미 있는 삶을 위한 마음 수련법
“무언가를 멀리 쏘아 보내는 동작은 역설적이게도
궁사 자신에게 돌아와 자아를 마주하게 한다.”
『아처』는 전설적인 궁사 ‘진’이 그에게 도전해온 이방인과 대결을 펼치고, 그 과정을 지켜보던 소년에게 활쏘기의 기본기를 전수하는 소박하고 단순한 이야기를 담고 있다. 하지만 궁술에 관한 이야기만은 아니다. 혜안을 가진 독자라면 시처럼 풍부한 은유 속에 담긴 인생의 지혜, 의미 있는 삶을 위한 마음가짐에 대한 메시지를 읽어낼 수 있을 것이다.
평소 꾸준히 궁도를 수련해온 것으로 알려진 코엘료는 산티아고데콤포스텔라 순례 여행 이후 대표작 『연금술사』와 『순례자』를 썼듯, 다시 한번 자신의 구체적이고 생생한 경험에서 우러나온 깨달음과 삶의 진리를 전한다.
Straight from the front line of urban America, the inspiring story of one fiercely determined teacher and her remarkable students.
As an idealistic twenty-three-year-old English teacher at Wilson High School in Long beach, California, Erin Gruwell confronted a room of “unteachable, at-risk” students. One day she intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature, and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust—only to be met by uncomprehending looks. So she and her students, using the treasured books Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Zlata’s Diary: A Child’s Life in Sarajevo as their guides, undertook a life-changing, eye-opening, spirit-raising odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding. They learned to see the parallels in these books to their own lives, recording their thoughts and feelings in diaries and dubbing themselves the “Freedom Writers” in homage to the civil rights activists “The Freedom Riders.”
With funds raised by a “Read-a-thon for Tolerance,” they arranged for Miep Gies, the courageous Dutch woman who sheltered the Frank family, to visit them in California, where she declared that Erin Gruwell’s students were “the real heroes.” Their efforts have paid off spectacularly, both in terms of recognition—appearances on “Prime Time Live” and “All Things Considered,” coverage in People magazine, a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley—and educationally. All 150 Freedom Writers have graduated from high school and are now attending college.
With powerful entries from the students’ own diaries and a narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary is an uplifting, unforgettable example of how hard work, courage, and the spirit of determination changed the lives of a teacher and her students.
The authors’ proceeds from this book will be donated to The Tolerance Education Foundation, an organization set up to pay for the Freedom Writers’ college tuition. Erin Gruwell is now a visiting professor at California State University, Long Beach, where some of her students are Freedom Writers.
