A pioneer of studies of the culture and people of India, Max Muller
was one of the most popular, most respected, and most influential
thinkers on world spirituality of the 19th century. Here, in a
series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University and collected
in a book first published in 1883, Muller defends India against
Western small-mindedness and invites the reader to explore and
appreciate all that India has bequeathed to global culture. From
Muller's characterization of the gentle benevolence of Hinduism to
his praise for the ancient beauty of Vedic literature, this is a
passionate portrait of a culture long misunderstood and
mischaracterized, and it remains an important work for anyone
interested in the Indian nation. German author FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER
(1823-1900) combined the studies of language, culture, and religion
to create the discipline of comparative mythology. Among his many
works are The Sacred Books of the East and History of Ancient
Sanskrit Literature.
