| Description: |
The Clay Sanskrit Library, co-published by NYU Press and the JJC Foundation, has been created to introduce classical Sanskrit literature to a wide international readership. This literature combines great beauty, enormous variety and more than three thousand years of continuous history and development. |
| Synopsis: |
Adventure, conquest, romance, comedy, suspense, and tragedy are just a few of the themes woven together by the range of styles represented in this set of classical Sanskrit literature. The set brings together classics like the Aesop's fables which originated in Vishnu*sharman's "Five Discourses on Worldly Wisdom" with the less traditional, such as the adventures of Dandin's "What Ten Young Men Did," written uncharacteristically in prose rather than verse. Included in this set: The Emperor of the Sorcerers Volume 1 By Budha*svamin. Edited and translated by Sir James Mallinson. 452 pages / 978-0-8147-5701-7 The Emperor of the Sorcerers Volume 2 By Budha*svamin.
