About This Item
London: Readers Union 1946. (Hardcover) Very good, no dust jacket. 259pp. Dark orange cloth with gilt lettering and publisher's device on the spine. Maps, illustrations, index. "In a previous book of mine, the Great Within, the political theory at the back of Confucianism was shown to be connected with the vision of a world state. Here is disclosed an analogous Buddhistic theory, which is as curiously related to the Christian Civitas Dei as is the Confucian. No direct exegesis of this is given, but it will be found to emerge from the episodes constructed round Friar Manrique's adventures, to which it gives both coherence and meaning" - from the Preface. Book about Friar Manrique. Locale: Arakan. (Eastern Religions, Buddhism, Confucianism, Eastern Religions, Religion, Travel and Adventure).
