I am reading a book I actually posted myself. But it's in german so it may not be considered as shameless self promotion. It's written by Waldemar Bonsels, a well known german children's book who was sent in his youth as a missionary to India after failing his school. It's really fascinating how he realizes in the course of his stay there in India how futile his missionary efforts really are. The Indians are described as simple, open folk that, in the end, are a lot wiser than the Europeans. So if someone reads german, the book is called Indienfahrt by Waldemar Bonsels. I love it. Not found any English translation, though. Shame!
