Book Description
Born in India to British parents, Colin Metcalfe Enriquez had a natural affinity for SE Asia. After education in England, he was commissioned an officer in the army and posted back to India. A born explorer, keen observer, and practised writer, he studied the people, languages, and natural world of India and Burma (today's Myanmar). As he writes in this book, he saw modern materialism as a burden and a happier life of simplicity in the native peoples of Burma. He writes: "Consider our little span of life, and how hard we strive. Yet, like these simple folk, we go forth hence naked out of it. I do not suggest that we can help materialism. It is bequeathed us from the past. Doubtless it is based upon necessity. I only compare it with the contentment we rather despise as primitive. So many ideals have gone overboard since 1914 [World War I]." But it's the burden of loneliness that accompanies every remote traveler that Enriquez writes of here. How each person deals with it is different. Again he writes: "The memory of the outside world alone breeds restlessness. The capacity for solitude is praised over and over again in the Buddhist books. I have understood a little now why that is so. No man can endure loneliness whose heart is bound to materialism, who is not wholly free from desire." Well-known in his own lifetime, this lovely out-of-print 1918 classic is available for the first time in an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
