Opis

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.
