Book Summary
A compilation of love stories and poems from the classical literature and
folklore of India
Set in regions of great natural beauty where Kamadeva, the god of love, picks
his victims with consummate ease, these stories and lyrics celebrate the myriad
aspects of love. In addition to relatively well-known works like Kalidasa's
Meghadutam and Prince Ilango Adigal's Shilappadikaram, the collection features
lesser-known writers of ancient India like Damodaragupta (eighth century AD),
whose ‘Loves of Haralata and Dundarasena' is about a high-born man's doomed
affair with a courtesan; Janna (twelfth century), whose Tale of the Glory-Bearer
is extracted here for the story of a queen who betrays her
