Book Details

First Sentence

"It is in outer India, on the most distant marches of Hinduism, that the scene paradoxically will be set-a macabre yet dazzling scene to which the reader shall have to adjust his vision and above all his sensitivity if he is to follow us in our exploration of a cultural enigma in which blinding darkness merges with blinding light."
