Description:Hindu myth, concerning Vishnu."Francis William Bain (29 April 1863 – 3 March 1940) was a British writer of fantasy stories that he claimed were translated from Sanskrit. During Bain's life, the argument raged about whether the story was truly a translation or whether Bain had written it himself. While some early reviewers took his statements at face value,[6] many did not. A contemporary review said, in part:Though palpably a pretense, they are graceful fancies, and might as well have appeared for what they really are instead of masquerading as "translations". No Hindu, unless of this generation and under foreign influence, ever conceived these stories. . . . Moreover, they are of a strict propriety, whereas original Hindu love stories would put Rabelais's ghost to the blush. The book contains numerous footnotes referring to Sanskrit puns and wordplay that the author claimed to have been unable to render in English. As more books appeared, it became clearer that Bain was writing these stories himself, not translating.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
