Sugata Saurabha: An Epic Poem from Nepal on the Life of the Buddha
ISBN: 9780674027121 / Angielski / Twarda / 847 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych.

It emulates the classical (Kavya) style of the long-standing Indian tradition, and has been inspired by the 2,000-year-old Sanskrit poem, the "Buddhacarita." Consequently, the...

Buddhist Scriptures as Literature: Sacred Rhetoric and the Uses of Theory
ISBN: 9780791473405 / Angielski / Miękka / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Buddhist Scriptures as Literature explores the drama, lyricism, and compelling storylines in Buddhist sacred writings, while illustrating how rhetoric and ideology are at work in shaping readers' reactions. Ralph Flores argues that the Buddha's life story itself follows an archetypal quest-romance pattern: regal surroundings are abandoned and the ensuing feats are heroic. The story can be read as an epic, but it also has a comic plot: confusions and trials until the Prince becomes utterly selfless, having found his true element--nirvana. Making use of contemporary literary theory, Flores...
