Sobre este artículo
U.S.A.: Alfred A. Knopf, 1988. "S. is the story of Sarah P. Worth, a thoroughly modern spiritual seeker who has become enamored of a Hindu mystic called the Arhat. A native New Englander, she goes west to join his ashram in Arizona, and there struggles alongside fellow sannyasins (pilgrims) in the difficult attempt to subdue ego and achieve moksha (salvation, release from illusion). “S.” details her adventures in letters and tapes dispatched to her husband, her daughter, her brother, her dentist, her hairdresser, and her psychiatrist—messages cleverly designed to keep her old world in order while she is creating for herself a new one." This is a handsome book that appears unread: Pink linen over boards with silver gilt print on spine; 279 pages; tight binding - no reader's crease or page separation; corners are square and sharp; no external or internal marks; no chips, tears or creases in the book or on the dust jacket; text block is bright and clean; stated first edition.. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.
