An Anthology of Writings on the Ganga

Goddess and River in History, Culture, and Society

Herausgeber: Doron, Assa; Nelson, Barbara; Barz, Richard

Beschreibung

The Ganga-along with the Nile, the Tigris and Euphrates, the Yangtze and the Danube-is one of the great rivers of our planet. Perceiving the Ganga from three levels-material, spiritual, and divine-this anthology reflects on the dialogue and tension between the modern and the traditional, the historic and the mythical, the epic and the everyday, the factual and the fictitious.
