Words for the Heart: A Treasury of Emotions from Classical India by Maria Heim
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3 MB
Overview: A richly diverse collection of classical Indian terms for expressing the many moods and subtleties of emotional experience
Words for the Heart is a captivating treasury of emotion terms drawn from some of India’s earliest classical languages. Inspired by the traditional Indian genre of a “treasury”―a wordbook or anthology of short texts or poems―this collection features 177 jewel-like entries evoking the kinds of phenomena English speakers have variously referred to as emotions, passions, sentiments, moods, affects, and dispositions. These entries serve as beautiful literary and philosophical vignettes that convey the delightful texture of Indian thought and the sheer multiplicity of conversations about emotions in Indian texts. An indispensable reference, Words for the Heart reveals how Indian ways of interpreting human experience can challenge our assumptions about emotions and enrich our lives.
