In The Max Müller Library, the great monuments of ancient thought are read aloud in their fullness, that the listener may approach, with patience and reverence, the earliest records of language, religion, and the search for the Infinite. Here are gathered the voices of the Veda, the wisdom of India, and the inquiries of comparative scholarship, not as relics of a vanished world, but as living witnesses to the long history of the human spirit.Public domain World
