The monkey grammarian
Paz, Octavio (1914-1998)
The monkey grammarian / Octavio Paz ; translated from the Spanish by Helen R. Lane - New York : Seaver Books , 1981 - 340 p. ; 21 cm.
This is a dazzling mind-journey to the temple city of Galta. Hanuman, the red-faced monkey god and ninth grammarian of Hindu mythology, is the protagonist, offering an occasion for Octavio Paz to explore the nature of time and reality, fixity and decay, and the question whether language and grammar are god-given, or an invention of man with powers borrowed from the divine realm?
Translated from the Spanish to English.
