O knihe

The purpose of this book is to conduct research on the impact of Indian scriptures and philosophy books on the mind and art of Emerson and Thoreau literary forefathers of America. No doubt, a lot has been said on Emerson and Thoreau, Whitman , Hawthorne and Melville on various aspects of their art and thought yet the aspect of impact of oriental philosophy on these writers has not been elaborately touched anywhere. The author therefore intends to underscore the impact of Oriental Philosophy on the mind and art of Emerson and Thoreau, a group of free thinking individuals who were not bound by the shackles of Christianity, the religion of their forefathers, and they gave expression to their free spirit the way they liked. Oriental literature was the one and the only medium in which they had the freedom of their soul and on which they delighted to express themselves the way they liked. This book is a fresh attempt of the author to dig fresh wealth of eternal ideas from the old mine. This encloses the purpose of this book.
