The Peddler is a man on a journey. He is helping others and dealing in emptiness. One is not in conflict with the other. Rabi describes the journey in the most lyrical way through his native India. The novel tells the story of the real India — the rural India — where humans, animals and every form of life is respected and valued. The main character of A Peddler of Emptiness is a modern person who is filled with contradictions. He is a mixture of many emotions. He has a connection to the nature and its beauty. He is absolutely overwhelmed by what he sees, observes and notices. The flashbacks, the memories and the old charm are reminding him that life must move on. Interlaced with poems (written by Rabi himself), the narration gets enough space to move and flow and finally reaches its climax. An ocean of emotions is waiting to be explored for readers reading this masterpiece.

This book demonstrates that Zen thought and art provide both a generative and a formative context for understanding the spirituality of the English poet William Wordsworth (1770—1850). Combining methods of modern literary scholarship with the philosophical initiatives of the Kyoto School, the text crosses disciplines as well as cultures, offering a nonmonotheistic, nonpantheistic philosophical ground upon which to study what Wordsworth calls the "tranquil soul" and "the one Presence" that underlies "the great whole of life." Anticipating a variety of audiences, the discourse progresses from general, introductory level discussions of Zen philosophy and literature to the more technical philosophical idiom of the Kyoto School, employing intertextual readings of a variety of Wordsworthian and Zen documents to broaden and deepen the East-West dialogue as it has been unfolding since the pioneering work of D. T. Suzuki and Kitaro Nishida. An important aspect of this study is its twofold purpose: to situate Wordsworth more centrally in the evolving global community of intercultural and interreligious communication and to demonstrate the unique flexibility and universality of Zen as a medium of spiritual growth and aesthetic understanding.

Green Grasses is a tender love story that takes place in the most violent of times. Set in Texas near the end of the Civil War, this Western packs plenty of surprises. Judith Williams has been left behind by her husband in a ruined ranch to fend for her three children and her sick father. The Indians demand that she leave or face death. To save her family, Judith makes the treacherous journey from Central Texas to San Antonio. Loading her children and father into a broken-down wagon, the family begins their odyssey. Judith believes her husband is dead but doesn’t know for certain. On the road, they meet Hobart Ross, an old friend returning from the Civil War who has come to see to his father, only to find that Ross’ father has died. They decide to all journey together to San Antonio. But with the war winding down, they must leave Texas quickly to avoid the aftermath of battle. Judith’s father finally succumbs to his illness, and after his funeral, Judith also falls ill from a fever. Hobart marries Judith as soon as she begins to recover and they leave for New Orleans, intending to travel to Georgia, to see about other family members living there. What they discover in Georgia shakes the foundation of their marriage. Can there be a happy ending in the face of the nation’s tragedy and their own troubles?
