Utgångspunkten för Thomas Brownes Gravurnor var ett fynd av en samling urnor i hans grannskap Norwich. Browne låter urnorna leda honom på ett strövtåg genom begravningsseder i olika tider och kulturer, men framför allt är det en meditation över tidens gång och människans skröplighet. »Vår ingrodda vana vid att leva gör oss oskickade att dö«, skriver Browne. Kanske kan hans essä göra oss lite mer skickade.

Browne har haft stort inflytande på såväl det engelska språket som på en rad författare, bl.a. W. G. Sebald, Virginia Woolf och Jorge Luis Borges. Gravurnor publiceras nu för första gången på svenska, i översättning av Arne Melberg.

Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82) was a writer of breathtaking range and learning, whose works demonstrate a warm and humorous view of human nature. Religio Medici is a fascinating, witty and intimate exploration of his views on faith and tolerance, while substantial selections from Pseudodoxia Epidemica display Browne's breadth of knowledge and omnivorous curiosity in his account of common errors in a startling array of subjects including sciences, history, literature and philosophy. Hydriotaphia or 'Urn Buriall' is an intriguing meditation on death and the desire for immortality, The Garden of Cyrus considers the mysterious order to be found in nature, and A Letter to a Friend and the aphoristic Christian Morals provide profound spiritual guidance to readers.

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.Written after the discovery of over forty Bronze Age burial urns in seventeenth-century Norfolk, Sir Thomas Browne's profound consideration of the inevitability of death remains one of the most fascinating and poignant of all reflections upon the vanity of mankind's lust for immortality.

The son of a London mercer, Thomas Browne pursued a career as doctor and scholar; after extensive travels in Europe he settled down in Yorkshire and wrote, over time, the series of reflections now known as Religio Medici. As a self-portrait of a mind and soul and a prominent landmark in the history of ideas, Religio Medici proved a document of inexhaustible interest and persisting value; and ever since its first publication in 1642 it has exerted a powerful influence on its readers. This classic edition, first published in 1953, offers a carefully edited version of the 'authorised' edition of 1643, including readings preserved in extant manuscript copies of the work.
