Description
This pioneering work written in a lucid style, narrates the inspiring tale of young Max Muller's endeavours in pursuit of his ideal.
This autobiography of Max Muller gives the readers a vivid insight into the formative years of the scholar's life. As he reminisces about his carefree childhood at Dessau, school days at Leipzig and student life in Paris and Oxford, the reader can feel his tremendous love and respect for Indian culture and Vedic literature. We also come to know about many scholars who had introduced Indian learning to the Europeans and had inspired Max Muller to cultivate this love for Indological studies.
