Produktbeschreibung
Gleanings in Buddha-Fields is a collection of essays by Lafcadio Hearn, originally published in 1897. The essays are based on Hearn's experiences and observations during his travels in Japan and other parts of the Far East. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the physical aspects of the region, including its landscapes, architecture, and people. The second part delves into the spiritual and philosophical aspects of the region, exploring the teachings of Buddhism and their influence on the culture and people of the Far East. Throughout the book, Hearn uses his unique perspective as a Westerner living in the East to provide insight into the region's customs, beliefs, and way of life. His writing is poetic and evocative, painting vivid pictures of the places he visits and the people he meets. Gleanings in Buddha-Fields is a fascinating glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to Western readers at the time of its publication, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Far East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
