Sobre este artículo
London: Oxford University Press, 1927. First Edition. Near Fine. First British edition. Original green cloth with gilt lettering and decorations; lacking the dust jacket. Near Fine, spine sunned and pages and pages lightly toned. A very attractive copy.
The first English translation of the Tibetan Buddhist text the Bardo Thodol, by American folklorist and religious scholar W.Y Evans-Wentz. Its title was invented by Wentz due to its similarities with the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, and like that work this one has become a widely-read and studied classic of world spirituality.
