Description

Book Synopsis
Two tragic plays that break the rules, showing the hero dying on stage, a scenario forbidden in Sanskrit dramaturgy

Trade Review
The books line up on my shelf like bright Bodhisattvas ready to take tough questions or keep quiet company. They stake out a vast territory, with works from two millennia in multiple genres: aphorism, lyric, epic, theater, and romance. -- Willis G. Regier * The Chronicle Review *
