It is primarily an introduction to image~thinking and picture~reading in Indian art and thought, and it seeks to make the profound Hindu and Buddhist intuitions of the riddles of life and death recognizable not merely as Oriental but as universal elements. "In a book which is enormously scholarly, though completely unassuming in its erudition, and so persuasive through the formal beauty and clarity of its style as to make it deservedly a classic of exegetic prose, Dr. Zimmer relates the basic myths that lie behind the forms of Indian art and civilization that produced them.

Of these, the first two titles are also available in Princeton/Bollingen paperbacks.…
