This is a revised and enlarged edition of John Moriarty's first
published work, which has been out of print since 1994. A Book of
Revelations mediated by stories and personal excursions in literature,
philosophy and sacred writings, Moriarty articulates the wisdom of
humanity, drawing on cultural landscapes in India, China, Egypt,
Australia, the Americas and Europe. Now recognized as a classic of
spiritual writing, it enlarges our capacity for symbolic understanding
in an age of millennial anxiety.
