Reseña del editor

What is Symbolism? The answer to this question has been known to change altogether a man's life; and ignorance of it can reasonably be said to have produced all the gravest problems of our times. With reference to the great religions of the world, and in particular to Christianity and Islam, Martin Lings here gives us an answer, with an unusually wide scope of illustration, a versatility to which the list of chapter headings bears some witness. At one point we are offered the universal message of four old Lithuanian songs which speak to us, in the language of symbols, from a remote antiquity; at another we are with the Queen of Sheba at her deeply symbolic meeting with Solomon, as recounted in the Qur'an. The central theme is man, stripped of his sub-human excrescences and re-endowed with his infinitely precious primordial heritage, and the reader may be drawn to identify himself with that centre. Nor is it only his intelligence that impels him, for the further we read, the more we are encouraged to renew our deeply ingrained consciousness that everything - numbers, elements, senses, colours, etc - has a vertical dimension that gives it a divine significance and this awareness brings with it an existential sense of that dimension in ourselves.
