DESCRIPTION
From Pankaj Mishra, the Windham-Campbell Prize-winning author of The World After Gaza, a meditation on the life and legacy of the Buddha, refracted through one man’s search for identity and one nation’s experience of independence. ‘Mishra’s book is in the best tradition of Buddhism, both dispassionate and deeply engaged, complicated and simple, erudite and profoundly humane’ The New York Times
An accomplished history of the Buddha, An End to Suffering is also a deeply personal story – the story of Pankaj Mishra’s search for meaning, for truth and peace in the modern world and, specifically, in a postcolonial, independent India. As he describes his travels to unearth the origins of the Buddha, Mishra offers glimpses into his own quest for enlightenment, from childhood to the September 11 attacks, from family background to friends met and made, from lessons learned to his achievements as a writer. Through this, Mishra reveals the parallels between his time and the Buddha’s, between their respective journeys – and that of their country – in search of progress and reconciliation.
‘Mishra is one of the most important voices of our generation’ Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
