Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
First published in 1832, this work was at the time considered an
authoritative account of the beliefs and practices of the Musalm ns
of India. This 1921 reprint includes an introduction from the
editor, Dr William Crooke, which presents what is known about both
Ja'far Sharif and the translator, G. A. Herklots. It also
distinguishes the original material from the changes made by the
translator and compares the book with other similar works published
in the nineteenth-century. This book will be of interest to those
studying the history of Islam, the history of ethnography and the
British Empire.

This work reconsiders the connections between mysticism,
nationalism and modernity in twentieth-century German cultures.
Disengaging mysticism from occultism, the author creates a new
space for reconsidering mysticism's links to larger structures of
modernity already at play at the turn of the century. Rather than
dismissing mysticism as a strain of anti-modern irrationalism with
troubling links to radical politics such as Nazism, the author
reconceptualizes modern mysticism as an unwittingly logical
expression of the same compression of time and space created by the
emergence of the newspaper, radio, railways and telegraph and
reflected in the novels of Hermann Hesse, Robert Musil and Max
Frisch.
