Présentation de l'éditeur :
In 1951 Octavio Paz travelled to India to serve briefly as an attache in the Mexican Embassy. Eleven years later, he returned as Mexico's ambassador in which capacity he served for six years. In Light of India is Paz's celebration of this country and his most personal work of prose to date. As in all of his essays, he brings poetic insight and voluminous knowledge to bear on the subject; the result is a series of fascinating discourses on India's landscape, culture and history.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Octavio Paz (1914-1998) was born in Mexico and is best known as a poet and essayist. He was also a professor, critic and translator and was the Mexican ambassador to India and France. Like Neruda and Jorge Luis Borges, Paz is one of those Latin American literary giants whose work has influenced not only their own politics and culture but those of the world.

He brings insight into India's landscape, culture and history in a series of discourses. The Antipodes of Coming and Going is a remembrance of the sights, sounds and smells of the subcontinent. Religions, Castes, Languages gives a survey of Indian history. A Project of Nationhood is an examination of modern Indian politics, comparing the respective Islamic, Hindu and Western civilizations through the course of history. The Full and the Empty is an exploration into what Paz calls the soul of India, its art, literature, music and philosophy, and an indictment of the self-centred materialism of Western society.
