Summary
Details

This screenplay depicts the true story of Max Müller, who created the world's first multicultural, religious encyclopedia. Max Müller translated the Rig Veda (the world's first book) from Sanskrit into German, the first complete version in a European language. This expertise in Sanskrit gave him an entry into the entire intellectual world of the 19th century when West met East for the first time. His scholarship provided him with a professorship at Oxford. Along the way he formed friendships with Schopenhauer, Mendelssohn, Fontane, Burnouf, Julien, Renan, Ruskin, Darwin, Emerson, the Tagores, Gladstone, Queen Victoria, Bismarck, Benjamin Jowett, Charles Dodgson, Schliemann, James Legge, and Alexander Graham Bell.
