It was R.H Blyth's belief that 'all that is good in European literature and culture is simply and solely that which is in accordance with the Spirit of Zen.' He thereafter applied himself to the task of searching the writings of the East and the West in an attempt to discover that Spirit. This book embraces the classical literature of China and Japan and the whole extent of English literature, with numerous quotations not only from English but also from French, German, Italian and Spanish writing."- Amazon
