O ovoj e-knjizi
'Mishra's book is in the best tradition of Buddhism, both dispassionate and deeply engaged, complicated and simple, erudite and profoundly humane' New York Times
An accomplished history of the Buddha, An End to Suffering is also a deeply personal story – the story of Pankaj Mishra's search for meaning, for truth and peace in the modern world and, specifically, in a postcolonial, independent India. As he describes his travels to unearth the origins of the Buddha, Mishra offers glimpses into his own quest for enlightenment, from childhood to the September 11 attacks, from family background to friends met and made, from lessons learned to his achievements as a writer. Through this, Mishra reveals the parallels between his time and the Buddha's, between their respective journeys – and that of their country – in search of progress and reconciliation.
'Mishra is one of the most important voices of our generation' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads
