""From Adam's Peak to Elephanta: Sketches in Ceylon and India"" is a travelogue written by Edward Carpenter in 1892. The book is a collection of his experiences and impressions during his travels in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and India. Carpenter describes the natural beauty of the places he visited, such as the sacred mountain of Adam's Peak, the ancient city of Anuradhapura, and the caves of Elephanta. He also shares his encounters with the local people, their customs, and their way of life. Carpenter's writing is vivid and poetic, and he often reflects on the spiritual and philosophical aspects of his journey. The book provides a fascinating insight into the colonial era and the cultural richness of Ceylon and India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
