Too many of the tales followed the same formula and left me unsure that any great virtue was extolled. In my mind, giving away things that are not needed nor wanted does not constitute generosity!!? But I really enjoyed the plethora of wise Sanskrit proverbs. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The fabled monarch Vikramaditya is considered to be a model of kingly virtues, and his reign a golden age of peace and prosperity. Narrated by the thirty-two statuettes of nymphs supporting his magic throne, the Tales describe his exploits and extol his extraordinary courage, compassion and kindness. Against an exotic setting of adventures and miracles, they depict such fantastical elements as fights with ogres, occult rituals and travels to other world, as well as very human situations of betrayal and rivalry. Dating from the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century, these colourful Tales are an intriguing mix of marvellous happenings, proverbial wisdom and sage precepts that entertain even as they instruct.
