"This admirably produced and well-translated volume of stories from the Sanskrit takes the Western reader into one of the Golden Ages of India. . . . The world in which the tales are set is one which placed a premium upon slickness and guile as aids to success. . . . Merchants, aristocrats, Brahmins, thieves and courtesans mingle with vampires, demi-gods and the hierarchy of heaven in a series of lively or passionate adventures. The sources of the individual stories are clearly indicated; the whole treatment is scholarly without being arid."—The Times Literary Supplement "Fourteen tales from India, newly translated with a terse and vibrant effectiveness. These tales will appeal to any reader who enjoys action, suspense, characterization, and suspension of disbelief in the supernatural."—The Personalist

If you want to discover the captivating history of India, then keep reading... India is a land of mystery, richness, and deep spiritual discovery. Every facet of this ancient land seems scented with the famous spices that lured European traders to its shores more than five centuries ago. Here, Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and Buddhists live shoulder to shoulder in a crowded world of multiple gods and juxtaposed pilgrimage routes, each one perfectly peaceful in their own beliefs and traditions. More than one billion people live on the Indian subcontinent, working in a range of industries that begins in the agricultural sector and ends in the high-tech business world of Delhi. Intensified manufacturing and digital technologies have brought modern India into the global market, trading in communications software, customer service, and IT management-but these are far from the technologies and industries that put this ancient land on every map. Long before the British Raj or the tea trade, India was beloved for its spices and jewels. For much of history, India provided the majority of the world's diamonds from its own mines. Some of those sparkling, perfect gems grace the likes of the British crown jewels. India is quite unique in the way it has brought its ancient histories and traditions with it into the modern age. Ganesh and Shiva have accompanied their people from the Indus River Valley-the spring of Indian civilization-down the Ganges and forward through time. In History of India: A Captivating Guide to Ancient India, Medieval Indian History, and Modern India Including Stories of the Maurya Empire, the British Raj, Mahatma Gandhi, and More, you will discover topics such as The Indus River Valley Mythology of the Vedic Age Aryan India and the Great Vedic Debate Alexander the Great The Empire of Chandragupta Maurya Buddhism and the Regrets of Ashoka The Return of the Greeks The Gupta Empire Ancient Mathematical Discoveries The Delhi Sultanate Babur and the Mughal Empire The Taj Mahal and a Story of Love India is "Rediscovered" by Portugal The Maratha Empire The East India Trading Company East India Company Rule The British Raj The Caste System Mohandas Gandhi The Salt March and Independence Wildlife, Then and Now A Brief History of the Curry The Space Program And much, much more!

Twenty-five years in the making, this anthology of centuries-old folk tales from the villages of South Asia recreate the oral traditions of old. Treat yourself to 27 old-fashioned short stories of kings, princesses, fools, wisemen, talking animals, treacherous villains, and unlikely heroes. Plucked and distilled from the anthropological literature, these tales hearken to a simpler time and faraway places, when old and young alike were entertained by fireside storytellers who wandered from village to village to ply their yarn-spinning trade. Be entertained by Harisharam the Frog, who pretended to be a fortune teller until his claims were challenged by the most powerful man in the land. Learn of Ravi the Fly, a quiet unassuming servant who turned out to be the greatest swindler in the land. Be awed by the simple Potmaker whose foolishness thrust him to the front of a great army. And yearn for Savitri, the perfect princess whose relentless love would falter before none, not even the god of Death. These tales have been told by oral storytellers in villages across ancient India, each time twisting and evolving. Some might seem familiar, given overlapping themes and the messiness of world history and geography. But there’s something about folk tales that are distinct from modern stories: they reflect not only timeless themes and perhaps the personality of the storyteller, but also say something of the nature of the people of the times.
