Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John L. Stoddard´s Lectures, Vol. 4 of 10 India is unique. It differs from all other lands in situation, climate, history, and religion. Its form is that of a gigantic triangle, one thousand nine hundred miles in length, and in its broadest part as wide as from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. Yet this enormous section of our earth is a peninsula. If we compare the continent of Asia to a ship, the sharp- pointed wedge of India is its prow, cleaving the Indian Ocean almost to the equator and rolling one great mass of water eastward to be silvered by the dawn, and a still larger volume westward to be gilded by the setting sun. The northern side of this vast triangle is rightly called "The Roof of the World." It is a vast mountain range so high that if the Pyrenees were piled upon the Alps, it would still tower above them both by four thousand feet.
