Upanishads by Robert Ernest Hume

The metaphysical treatises known as the Upanishads represent the efforts of the major thinkers of early India, from around the sixth century B.C., to solve the problems of the origin, the nature, and the destiny of man and the universe. These texts, translated by Hume who faithfully rendered the original Sanskrit, include an appendix of recurrent and parallel passages in the principal Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita, full annotations, a bibliography, and a helpful exposition of the methods of translation.

Dan T. Carter, former president of the Southern Historical Association and Educational Foundation Professor of History Emeritus at the University of South Carolina, is the author of Scottsboro: A Tragedy of the American South, which won the Bancroft Prize in American History; From George Wallace to Newt Gingrich: Race in the Conservative Counterrevolution, 1963-1994; and After the War Was Over: The Craven Award is given to the best film of the year.
