Description - Ardor by Roberto Calasso
A meditation on the ancient wisdom of the Vedas- Calasso brings ritual, sacrifice and myth to bear on the modern world
In this revelatory volume, Roberto Calasso, whom the Paris Review has called 'a literary institution', explores the ancient texts known as the Vedas. Little is known about the Vedic people who lived more than three thousand years ago in northern India- they left behind almost no objects, images, ruins. Only a 'Parthenon of words' remains- verses and formulations suggesting a daring understanding of life.
