First Edition
First Edition, so stated. Hardbound 8vo (9.75 inches tall) 427 pages. Appendices, glossary, notes, bibliography, index. Description: Several black and white illustrations. ''The sacr4d city of Banaras on the River Ganges is one of the oldest living cites in the world -- as old as Jerusalem, Athens, and Peking. It is the place where Shiva, the Lord of All, is said to have made his permanent home since the dawn of creation. There are few cities in India as traditionally Hindu and as symbolic of the whole of Hindu culture as Banaras. In this eloquent, finely observed study, Diana Eck shows how the city over the centuries has become a lens through which the Hindu vision of the world is precisely focused. She reveals the spiritual and historical resonance of this holy place where great sages such as the Buddha and Shankara taught, where ashrams, palaces, and universities were built, where God has been imagined and imaged in a thousand ways. She describes the rites of its temples, the busy life of its riverfront, and the exuberance of its festivals.'' BINDING/CONDITION: light olive binding with gilt borders; beige cloth at the spine; the top edge tint is a dark color; there is a remainder mark along the top edge, but due to the tope edge tint, is not glaringly obvious; otherwise a Near Fine book, publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. A luminous work, as befits this City of Light. I know of few books that capture the soul of a sacred city to the degree that this one does'-Huston Smith, Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion, Syracuse University One of the oldest living cities in the world, Banaras is also where Shiva, the Lord of All, is believed to have made his home since the dawn of creation. There are few places in India as traditionally Hindu and as symbolic of the whole of Hindu culture as this city where God is imagined and imaged in a thousand ways. Through her account of the history, geography and art of the city, its elaborate and thriving rituals, its myths and literature, Diana Eck brings out the significance Banaras holds for the millions of pilgrims and seekers who have been coming here for over 2500 years.
