Synopsis
This book was published in 1932. In this volume, the author wishes to sketch the portraits of some of the great characters of the time, from the founders of Chinese imperialism and of the T'ang dynasty to their contemporaries Hsuan-tsang and I-ching, the pious pilgrims whose travels across the Gobi desert and the Pamir plateau or along the shores of the South Seas equal in interest those of our most daring explorers, down to the thinkers and sages whose speculations attained, in the realm of metaphysics, horizons yet more vast. The contents of this book are: In the China of the Epics; The Appeal of Buddhism; Through the Wide West; Persian Paintings in the Gobi; One the Eve of the Shattering of the Hordes; In the Land of Graeco-Buddhism; Towards the Holy Land of the Ganges; In the Sacred Places of Buddhism; A Journey in the Deccan in the Time of Ajanta; The Monastic City of Nalanda; Harsha, the Poet King; From Pamir to Tun-Huang; The Glory of the T'angs; Pilgrims of the Southern Seas; The Voyages of I-Ching; In the Peace of the Pagodas; The Metaphysical Flight of the Mahayana; In the Mystic Heaven of Buddhism; and the Revelation of Indian Art.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
