For the past two thousand years and more, the figure of Gautama, the Buddha, has attracted hagiographers and legend-makers whose writings have, for the most part, left readers with a sense of dissatisfaction and frustration. At the same time, there has been a flood of arcane scholarship on particular aspects of the Buddha's life, times, and teaching which has left the discriminating reader unmoved. This biography, written with rare elegance, delicacy, and verve will serve as a breath of fresh air.

This study of Mohammed Iqbal's poetry seeks to arrive at an understanding of his personality and his relationship to the life of his times. The book provides a graphic, sympathetic yet critical picture of Iqbal's intellectual life. Providing a view of the contemporary political context, the text also meaningfully expresses the pre-Partition ethos, including the character of the Muslim intelligentsia and its dilemmas.

The three works brought together in this collection explore Buddhism as a rich source of literary legend, an austere ethical guide, and a contemporary philosophy very relevant in the modern world in view of the resurgence of interest in the Buddha and his philosophy. Matthew T. Kapstein in his Introduction provides a concise historical overview of Buddhism in India and the renewal of interest in the Buddha s teachings and also situates the works in their prope contexts.
