«El peregrino Kamanita» is the novel by Karl Gjellerup, published by Signo Editores in hardcover (200 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Kamanita, a man who first seeks material satisfactions and then, upon realizing the fragility of all earthly things, desires eternal treasures. The novel recreates the era of Buddha and develops the Buddhist vision of the world: renunciation, striving towards perfection and the promise of nirvana and paradise.
The work originally appeared as «Pilgrimen Kamanita» in 1906, and this edition belongs to the Biblioteca Premios Nóbel collection.
A read for those seeking classics with a Buddhist and philosophical background, in the line of Scandinavian literature.
Karl Adolph Gjellerup was a Danish poet and novelist who together with his compatriot Henrik Pontoppidan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1917. He is associated with the Modern Breakthrough period of Scandinavian literature. He occasionally used the pseudonym Epigonos.
