林语堂英文作品集

   
《印度的智慧》分中国部分的古典著述和印度部分的古典著述。书中涉猎了印度、中国文化中*为精髓和深刻的方面，以作为研究者研读和查阅的资料；同时，《印度的智慧》还选取了许多有关这两个古老民族的民族心理、文学想象和日常生活的材料，因而也适合普通读者在闲暇时翻阅欣赏。另外，在原著注释的基础之上，译者还增添了相关补注，帮助普通读者理解文中难解之处。

   
《林语堂英文作品集》是林语堂用英文创作的一系列作品，曾经轰动欧美文坛，影响深远，一直被视为阐述东方文化的权威著作。此外。本套图书独家原版引进，众多著作以英文原貌首次登陆国内；数十幅珍贵老照片真实回味过去的时光。重磅上市，值得珍藏！

    《印度的智慧》是一部林语堂精心编撰的印度文化手册。
印度文学里展现出来的东西，可以让人们一窥这个国家的思想和社会思潮，三千年来，这些内容一直在激活和塑造着这个民族。只有看到印度思想的丰富性及其本质精神，我们才能理解印度，才能奢望分享其各民族的自由和平等，而这些正是我们试图从这个道德和政治上都混乱不堪的世界创造出来的东西，尽管显得有些蹩脚和踌躇。

GLOSSARY OF HINDU WORDS
WORKS IN ENGLISH BY LIN YUTANG

“读林先生的书使人得到很大启发。我非常感激他，因为他的书使我大开眼界。只有一位优秀的中国人才能这样坦诚、信实而又毫不偏颇地论述他的同胞。”

　　——《纽约时报》星期日书评

“虽然他讲的是数十年前中国的精彩，但他的话，即使在今天，对我们每一个美国人都很受用。”

II The Counsel of Agastya
“Pleased am I,” so spake Agastya, “in these forests dark and
wild,Thou hast come to seek me, Rama, with the saintlyJanak’s
child,But like pale and drooping blossoms severed from the parent
tree,Far from home in toil and trouble, faithful Sita follows
thee,True to wedded lord and husband she hath followed Raghu’s
son,With a woman’s deep devotion woman’s duty she hath done! How
unlike the fickle woman, true while Fame and Fortune
smile,Faithless when misfortunes gather, loveless in her wicked
wile,How unlike the changeful woman, false as light the lightnings
fling,Keen as sabre, quick as tempest, swift as bird upon its wing!
Dead to Fortune’s frown or favour, Sita still in truth abides,As
the star of Arundhati in her mansion still resides,Rest thee with
thy gentle consort, farther still she may not roam,Holier were this
hermit’s forest as the saintly Sita’s home! “”Great Agastya!”
answered Rama, “blessed is my banished life,For thy kindness to an
exile and his friendless homeless wife,But in wilder, gloomier
forests lonesome we must wander still,Where a deeper, darker shadow
settles on the rock and rill.””Be it so,” Agastya answered, “two
short yojans from this place,Wild is Panchavati’s forest where
unseen the wild deer race,Godavari’s limped waters through its
gloomy gorges flow,Fruit and root and luscious berries on its
silent margin grow,Seek that spot and with thy brother build a
lonesome leafy home,Tend thy true and toil-worn Sita, farther stdl
she may not roam! Not unknown to me the mandate by thy royal father
given,Not unseen thy endless wanderings destined by the will of
Heaven,Therefore Panchavati’s forest marked I for thy woodland
stay,Where the ripening wild fruit clusters and the wild bird
trills his lay,Tend thy dear devoted Sita and protect each pious
rite.
