From Adam's Peak To Elephanta

From Adam's Peak to Elephanta: Sketches in Ceylon and India is a book written by Edward Carpenter and published in 1892. The book is a collection of sketches that Carpenter made during his travels in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and India. The sketches depict the people, culture, and landscapes of these two countries, and provide a glimpse into the life and customs of the people living there in the late 19th century. Carpenter was an English poet, philosopher, and social activist who was interested in Eastern religions and cultures. His sketches are accompanied by his observations and reflections on the places he visited, making the book a valuable historical and cultural document. The book includes chapters on topics such as the sacred mountain of Adam's Peak, the city of Kandy, the temples of Madura, and the caves of Elephanta. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Ceylon and India, and a must-read for those interested in the work of Edward Carpenter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
