Overview
Here is a remarkable book on Zen in literature and Oriental classics. The author, Dr. Reginald Horace Blyth (1898-1964), who studied Zen Buddhism under Kayama Taigi Roshi, has applied himself to the painstaking task of searching literature and classics of the East and the West for the gem of the Zen spirit that might be found in them. It is his 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." Having studied literature in London University, he is well qualified for the task and shows a penetrating insight and a keen judgement in the treatment of the subject, and has succeeded.
