With such bestsellers as "A History of God and Islam," Karen
Armstrong has consistently delivered apenetrating, readable, and
prescienta ("The New York Times") works that have lucidly engaged a
wide range of religions and religious issues. In "Buddha" she turns
to a figure whose thought is still reverberating throughout the
world 2,500 years after his death.
Many know the Buddha only from seeing countless serene, iconic
images. But what of the man himself and the world he lived in? What
did he actually do in his roughly eighty years on earth that
spawned one of the greatest religions in world history? Armstrong
tackles these questions and more by examining the life and times of
the Buddha in this engrossing philosophical biography. Against the
tumultuous cultural background of his world, she blends history,
philosophy, mythology, and biography to create a compelling and
illuminating portrait of a man whose awakening continues to inspire
millions.
