{"product_id":"indian-asceticism-carl-olson-9780190225322","title":"Indian Asceticism: Power, Violence, and Play","description":"Throughout the history of Indian religions, the ascetic figure is most closely identified with power. A by-product of the ascetic path, power is displayed in the ability to fly, walk on water or through dense objects, read minds, discern the former lives of others, see into the future, harm others, or simply levitate one's body. These tales give rise to questions about how power and violence are related to the phenomenon of play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Olson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190225327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190225322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Carl Olson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216473501951,"sku":"9780190225322","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7da6ebab-0538-4de5-aae4-35598b13b7f9.jpg?v=1771991233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indian-asceticism-carl-olson-9780190225322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
