«El camino del laberinto» is Alain Daniélou's memoir, published by Editorial Kairós in paperback (478 pages, in Spanish).
The book traces Alain Daniélou's life: childhood in a strict Catholic home, youth in the artistic Paris of the 1930s, with Max Jacob and Jean Cocteau, and travels through Africa, Beijing and Hollywood. He ended up in India, where he stayed for nearly twenty years: he was initiated into Hinduism, studied Sanskrit and devoted himself to traditional music.
Subtitled «Recuerdos de Oriente y Occidente», it belongs to the Sabiduría Perenne collection, translated by Miguel Portillo and includes 48 illustrations.
Ideal for anyone seeking an autobiography that links twentieth-century European cultural history with the spirituality and music of India.
Alain Daniélou was a French historian, Indologist, intellectual, musicologist, translator, writer and convert to and scholar of the Shaivite branch of Hinduism.
