The Serpent of Paradise

By Miguel Serrano

"The Serpent of Paradise concludes a trilogy of which Neither by Land nor by Sea (1950) and Invitation to the Icefields (1957) are the other two parts. Like these other books, it is an apparently disconnected narration of adventures and experiences. It has had to take this form because its only unifying feature is the design of a life that has not yet ended." (From the Preface.)

This enlightening work is a reflection on the author's pilgrimage through India before the influence of modernity accelerated the decline of its traditional culture. A poetic account of his journey to holy sites, ice caves, and ashrams, The Serpent of Paradise is meant as an esoteric guide along the Heroic path "for those who once again will want to pass beyond the poles."
