The Eisner and Harvey Winner
In this fourth volume of the award-winning graphic novel biography,
Buddha slowly discovers that his destiny lies in a path not readily
available to him. With fellow ascetics Dhepa who has complete faith in
the purifying quality of painful physical ordeals, and Assaji, who can
predict everyone's death to the hour, Buddha travels through the kingdom
of Magadha into the Forest of Uruvela, where The Middle Path and
Enlightenment wait beyond a series of death-defying trials.
