Riassunto

In 1951 Octavio Paz travelled to India to serve briefly as an attache in the Mexican Embassy. Eleven years later, he returned as Mexico's ambassador in which capacity he served for six years. In Light of India is Paz's celebration of this country and his most personal work of prose to date. As in all of his essays, he brings poetic insight and voluminous knowledge to bear on the subject; the result is a series of fascinating discourses on India's landscape, culture and history.

L'autore:

Octavio Paz (1914-1998) was born in Mexico and is best known as a poet and essayist. He was also a professor, critic and translator and was the Mexican ambassador to India and France. Like Neruda and Jorge Luis Borges, Paz is one of those Latin American literary giants whose work has influenced not only their own politics and culture but those of the world.
