Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Weird Orient: Nine Mystic Tales The mystery of the great desolate desert stretches, with their overpowering solemnity of deadly silence, has from time immemorial exercised a most powerful influence upon the imagination of those who frequent them and their optical illusions are often so curious and so startling as to afford easy explanation of the legends of hidden and phantom cities, such as are told here and elsewhere, and indeed of much else beside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amulet: A Tale of the Orient Two thousand years ago there lived in the city Of Babylon a wise man, known in those days as an astrologer. Men of his profession were reverenced for their learning, and their sage counsels were fol lowed alike by kings and people. Their prophecies were indeed fulfilled in a wonderful manner, although the materialist Of today would scoff and sneer at such credulity. But there is a wisdom even beyond that of the most advanced scientist. This wisdom is the direct result of the teaching of the higher powers, but has been lost to the world for many centuries, owing to the increasing materialism of the race. Man has gradually discarded the teachings of his ancestors of the dim past, who, however, held the truth as we do not hold it today. The western world has wandered far from it, and in their egotism allude to the early wisdom as superstition.

Download or read book Modernity s Classics written by Sarah C. Humphreys and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents critical studies of modern reconfigurations of conceptions of the past, of the 'classical', and of national heritage. Its scope is global (China, India, Egypt, Iran, Judaism, the Greco-Roman world) and inter-disciplinary (textual philology, history of art and architecture, philosophy, gardening). Its emphasis is on the complexity of the modernization process and of reactions to it: ideas and technologies travelled from India to Iran and from Japan to China, while reactions show tensions between museumization and the recreation of 'presence'. It challenges readers to rethink the assumptions of the disciplines in which they were trained
Download or read book Within the Gateways of the Far East Classic Reprint written by Charles Rosenbury Erdman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Within the Gateways of the Far East Diminishing number of persons who have distinguished themselves by never visiting the Orient. These pages were prepared more particularly for the perusal of personal friends and they may be regarded as an apology for an extended absence from home. They do not form an absolutely complete compendium of routes, distances, areas, populations, rainfalls, products, languages, customs, vital statistics of Lama priests, and similar informing items which fill more important and conventional books of travel. The omission of any such details is due to the cruel limitations of space imposed by the high cost of printing. Compensation is offered in the original and profound observations made by the author, whose ignorance of geography, history, science, and religion enables him to write with such abandon and assurance as characterize all who have spent a few days in the Far East. The value of the volume will ever remain a matter of personal opinion, to which those who. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Orient Express written by Randy Rosenthal and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When yoga studios are ubiquitous and meditation apps are on millions of smart phones, once exotic terms like karma, zen, and nirvana have entered into everyday English, business consultants have appropriated the meditation terms “mindfulness” and “equanimity,” and Buddha statues and Shinto shrines are common in American yards, we forget that things weren’t always this way, and that what is now considered cliché was once unknown. So how did the spirituality of the East come to permeate the culture of the West? Answering that question is what The Orient Express is about. To do so, Harvard scholar Randy Rosenthal explores the four works of fiction he finds most responsible for bringing Eastern religion to the Western mainstream: The Razor’s Edge by W. Somerset Maugham, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, Franny and Zooey by J. D. Salinger, and The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac. Through the lives of their characters, these authors introduced countless readers to the spiritual practices and philosophies of yoga, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and the hesychast prayer tradition of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. A compendium of spiritual wisdom in the form of literary criticism, The Orient Express tells the story of these stories, providing illuminating context and clarifying misconceptions along the way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pebbles, Pearls and Gems of the Orient If, as the Orientals say, of all poverty the poverty of the mind is the most deplorable, then it must be a fitting service to seek to reduce that, and increase to the utmost the wealth of possession. If, as Charles V. Is credited with saying, one becomes a new man as often as he acquires a new lan guage, it is also true that any one of us is made new, under goes afresh enlargement and strengthening in the opening of a new source of nourishment and inspiration.

Download or read book Orientalism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world. "Intellectual history on a high order ... and very exciting." —The New York Times In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.

Download or read book Dictionary of Bibliographic Abbreviations Found in the Scholarship of Classical Studies and Related Disciplines written by Jean S. Wellington and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-08-30 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trying to identify abbreviated titles of journals and standard bibliographic works is a major difficulty facing researchers and librarians in the field of Classical Studies. This revised edition has been greatly expanded, with nearly twice the abbreviations (17,000) and bibliographic entries (12,400) as the first edition. Also, the Greek and Cyrillic abbreviations have increased by seven and four fold respectively. Abbreviations for internet sites are now included, as are those for associations in the broad area of Classical Studies. There are also more entries for Eastern European and regional archaeological publications. This revised volume is divided into two parts. Part One consists of an alphabetical listing of bibliographic abbreviations found in the scholarship of classical studies and related disciplines. Meanwhile, Part Two is an alphabetically arranged bibliographic descriptions for the works published in classical studies and related disciplines. Special efforts were made to increase the coverage in peripheral areas, making this new edition a useful reference tool for scholars in all subjects of study in the ancient and medieval world.
