The Excerpts section of Samhita is a selected reading from important books, essays, speeches, memoirs, historical documents, letters and other important writings that continue to inspire readers across generations. We feel that there are some ideas that never go out of style and that it is important to revisit them in order to gain a better understanding of the world, its history and ourselves.
The excerpts are chosen for their literary, intellectual or cultural value. These selections, which are accompanied by a brief introduction or contextual note, assist the reader in appreciating the original work and in going beyond it.

Our Editorial Approach
We at Samhita feel that excerpts should go beyond a mere reproduction of a text. The selections have been carefully chosen to give a clear sense of how they are relevant, historically appropriate, and literary. Our editorial staff guarantees that all excerpts are accurate and that readers get the bigger picture.
From a famous classic to a not so well-known book, we want readers to explore the entire text and gain insight into the ideas that continue to affect generations.
