Excerpt from Out of the East: Reveries and Studies in New JapanSummer days were then as now, -all drowsy and tender blue, with only some light, pure white clouds hanging over the mirror of the sea. Then, too, were the hills the same, far blue soft shapes melting into the blue sky. And the winds were lazy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Dust jacket notes: "This selection by Kenneth Rexroth of Lafcadio Hearn's essays, sketches, and stories establishes Hearn as the primary influence in the dissemination of Buddhist thought and practice from Japan to the United States. This final bridge completed a centuries-long flow of Buddhist ideas from India to China, Tibet, Korea, Japan, and other parts of Asia, and thence via Hearn to the United States. Modern scholars are now agreed that no writer since Hearn has surpassed his ability to make Buddhism as practiced on a daily basis by the Japanese understood by the average American reader...."

Religion & Spirituality

Ross-Erikson

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
