About This Item
Used book has very little markings, writing from the previous owner. DJ has some bumping, rubbing, little tears on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer edges have tanning, browning, stains and foxing. This unique volume - a montage of paintings, statues, and photographs, captioned by poems, hymns, aphorisms, and quotations, from psychologists, philosophers, and other thinkers and linked by the author's own commentary - shows how sexual imagery reveals basic differences between the cultures of the East and the West. Since Eden, Western mas has never found the explanation for his fate in guilt and sin. The reality principle has defeated the pleasure principle, and there is no escape from time. The Indian, on the other hand, seeks a still point outside of time; he has never lost Eden. The Rasamandala - the dance of Krishna and his innumerable adorers - demonstrates that in the East Sacred and profane love are the same ... The Axis of Eros is at once a picture album, a book of spells, and a chant of exorcism. 1973. T1.
