Description
The Upanishads by Anonymous A collection of 13 philosophical discourses that explore the inner meaning of the world and the nature of reality. Composed around the eighth century BCE, these texts have been central to the development of Hinduism, examining key concepts such as rebirth, karma, and spiritual bliss. Valerie Roebuck's translation brings these ancient teachings into modern English, retaining their direct and unadorned style. The book includes an introduction, Sanskrit pronunciation guide, suggestions for further reading, explanatory notes, and a glossary to enhance understanding. For over 70 years, Penguin Classics has published authoritative texts of classic literature, including this volume which represents a significant contribution to the study of Hinduism and philosophy.
