Description
Lecture course delivered at Columbia university the winter term of 1942.
This book interprets for the Western mind the key motifs of India's legends, myth & folklore, taken directly from the Sanskrit. Illustrated with 70 plates of Indian art, it's primarily an introduction to image-thinking & picture-reading in Indian art & thought. It seeks to make the profound Hindu & Buddhist intuitions of the riddles of life & death recognizable not merely as Oriental but as universal elements.
