About The Book: The Secret of Death: From the Sanskrit with Some Collected Poems is a 1904 work by Sir Edwin Arnold that reflects his deep engagement with Eastern philosophy and spirituality. The book presents a translation of ancient Sanskrit texts exploring themes of mortality, the afterlife, and the nature of existence.

This collection not only demonstrates Arnold's literary prowess but also his commitment to bridging Eastern and Western thought, contributing to the understanding of Hindu and Buddhist concepts in the Victorian era. About The Author: Sir Edwin Arnold (1832–1904) was an influential English poet and journalist, renowned for his 1879 epic poem, The Light of Asia, which explores Buddhist philosophy through the life of Prince Gautama. Born in Gravesend, Kent, Arnold's education at prestigious institutions laid the foundation for his literary career. He served as Principal of Deccan College in India, later becoming editor-in-chief of The Daily Telegraph, where he arranged H. M. Stanley's African expedition. Arnold's poetic works aimed to interpret Eastern philosophies, but his later attempts, such as The Light of the World, received mixed reviews.
