The Light of Asia by Edwin Arnold is a poetic classic that introduces Western readers to the life and teachings of the Buddha. First published in 1879, this 1977 hardcover from The Theosophy Company preserves Arnold’s lyrical retelling of Prince Siddhartha’s transformation into the Enlightened One.

Collectors of Buddhist spirituality and mind-body-spirit texts prize this edition for its sturdy binding and clean, unmarked pages. Light foxing appears only on the earliest leaves, leaving the rest of the volume fresh and easy to read.

Ideal for young adults and adult seekers alike, the book blends Victorian elegance with timeless mysticism. Place it on a meditation-room shelf or gift it to anyone curious about Buddhism’s gentle path.
