Pankaj Mishra ? An End to Suffering April 30, 2005

Pankaj Mishra is the author of the beautiful novel The Romantics. Part travelogue, part history, An End to Suffering, is a deeply original and provocative book about the Buddha's life and his influence throughout history, told in the form of the author's own search to understand the Buddha's relevance to a world where class oppression and religious violence are rife, and where poverty and terrorism cast a long, constant shadow.
