A Hermit in the Himalayas

Description

Published by Leonard & Co, (1936), 1st Edition, Nr. Fine.   Paul Brunton is the pen name of Raphael Hurst (1898-1981), a well known British author of spiritual books who was one of a very small number of his generation to travel in India and Tibet so extensively at a time when very few were doing so with such insight and discernment.  His journalistic skills produced magnificent descriptions of the snowy peaks and high-desert landscapes of the Himalayan region, but it was the lessons he learned from the holy men he met on his journey that transformed him into one of the great interpreters of the East.  A Hermit In The Himalayas is a fascinating blend of travel writing and profound spiritual experience.  As we accompany the author on his journey through the vast Himalayas ranges towards Mount Kailas in Tibet, he also shows us an even more remarkable – and timeless – inner path which will help us cope with the ups and downs of our contemporary world.
