It is a vast collection of tales based on “The Long Story,” a now lost (and perhaps legendary) repository of Indian fables, in which prince Nara·váhana·datta wins twenty-six wives and becomes the emperor of the sorcerers. There are tales within tales within tales. By turns funny, exciting, or didactic, they illustrate points within the narrative or are told simply to provide entertainment for the protagonists. Its twenty thousand plus verses are written in simple but elegant Sanskrit and it has long been used as an introductory text for students of the language.Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC FoundationFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit http://www.claysanskritlibrary.orgLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 152mmItem Length: 102mmItem Weight: 363gAuthor: SomadevaTranslator: James MallinsonContributor: James Mallinson (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Clay Sanskrit LibraryRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
