Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A People at School Some years ago I wrote The Soul of a People. It was an attempt to understand the Burmese, to sec them as they do themselves, to describe their religion and its effect on them. This book is also concerned with the Burmese. But it is from another point of view. That was of feelings and emotions and ideals, of the inner life as they understand it. It was individual, of man and woman. This is of the outer life, of success and failure, of progress and retrogression judged as nations judge each other. It is of the Burmese as a race, or nation. Both arc, I think, true points of view. And although in this book it may seem that there is much that is not in accord with the former one, that is not I think really so. For life is complex. It has many sides, it must have many ideals. And though one ideal be opposed to another, they may yet both be good and both be true. We can never get far enough away, get high enough up to see life whole. If we could do so, all these lesser truths, all these lesser ideals would blend into the great Truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
