An English translation of the companion to the Hindu scripture, "The Bhagavad Gita". Written in the later-9th or early-10th century AD, it contains the last message of the Krishna on the importance of devotion and action according to what is right. Though the underlying message is the same as "The Bhagavad Gita", the approach of the two texts is different. While "The Bhagavad Gita" is an urgent message delivered on the battlefield, the tone of Krishna's farewell to his friend Uddhava is gentle and more accessible. "The Uddhava Gita" is a mixture of sublime devotional passages and practical advice on how to live and meditate. Swami Ambikananda Saraswati's translation uses language that makes the metaphors of Hinduism accessible to a Western readership, while seeking to remain faithful to the teachings of the original. She has prefaced each of the 24 chapters with a short commentary to help the reader appreciate the underlying message of the text.

The Christmas story is illustrated with miniatures selected from the Books of Hours found in The British Library Some of the greatest European painters of the Middle Ages were employed in the decoration of these manuscripts: Gerard Horenbout, one of the illuminators of The Sforza Hours, illustrates a simple Nativity using rich reds, greens and blues; the Annunciation to the Shepherds, depicted by the Master of the Duke of Bedford, is marvellously detailed and surrounded by classic miniatures; the Master of the Dresden Hours, a prolific Flemish artist of the late 1400's, has strewn his Epiphany with flowers, so realistic that it seems possible to pick them off the page. Intricate in scale and radiant with gold and colors, these manuscripts represent the popular ideal of the medieval illuminated book. The well-loved story is recounted in the words of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible. This masterly translation of the New Testament complements the magnificent illustrations, making this the perfect Christmas gift to be treasured by young and old. With the combination of the beautiful RSV translation and the glorious color miniatures, readers will be deeply inspired by both word and art. The RSV has been acclaimed for many decades as the most accurate, readable and beautiful translation of the Bible in English. Special Highlights: Lavishly illustrated with classic miniatures taken from medieval manuscripts Illustrations by some of the greatest artists of the Middle Ages Paintings are full of marvellous detail, intricate in scale, and radiant with gold and brilliant colors Beloved Christmas story is told in direct verses from Scripture from the beautiful RSV translation
