4.9/5 (18920 ratings)

Description:Peter Khoroche’s translation of Arya Sura’s “Jatakamala” (ca. fourth century) has sold more than fifteen-hundred copies in each of its editions. We now have a new translation of the “Jatakamala” by Haribhatta, a later contemporary of Arya Sura’s. Like the earlier volume, this one contains rare examples of the earliest extant writings from Sanskrit’s classical period. To date, six of the thirty-four stories from the work are still lost to time, but even in its truncated form, the tales, in Khoroche’s splendid, fluid renderings, amply illustrate the Buddha’s single-minded devotion to the good of all creatures in each of his incarnations. Here we have stories of an actress and a peacock, as noted in the title, but also tales of kings and monkeys, sages and fools, lions and elephants, princes and fairies, in equal measure entertaining, surprising, and moving--in addition to edifying. These unique tales of bravery, romance, sex, death, and, ultimately, rebirth, will be greeted by a very appreciate audience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
