Shudraka (Sanskrit Writer)
On Śudraka, Sanskrit dramatist.
Demon Rising
Erik Eleodum is known as Wolf's Bane, Troll Hammer, and Dragon Slayer. Now, he must become a Demon Killer. As Yebritoch, the Lord of Chaos, regains a foothold in the world and threatens to break free of his prison in the Abyss, Erik must stop him before he destroys the world and tries to rebuild it. Through his alliance with the Lord of the East, the demon Yebritoch has found a pathway from the Abyss back to the world. If they can free the greatest of Yebritoch's Chaos Beasts, his transformation will be complete and there will be no stopping him from raining chaos upon everything. As this ancient evil devises a plan to destroy and rebuild the world, Erik has developed new allies as well as reunited with old allies and journeys into uncharted lands to find the last missing piece of the Dragon Scroll - the Dragon Crown - and a weapon that will help stop both Yebritoch and the Lord of the East. But his confidence is shaken and he questions whether or not he can actually stop the Lord of Chaos. Will Erik have the strength and heart to make the sacrifices needed to stop the Demon of Chaos, or will the world as he knows it end?
Storyteller Spirit
A ghost that giggles and tells stories on a moonless night, a king whose intelligence is as sharp as his curved sword, meet them in this innovated yet authentic retelling of the Sanskrit classic Vetala-panchavimshati which goes back beyond the 11th century CE. Vetala Pacchisi (Twenty-five Vetala Tales) in Hindi is a household name. In Bengali, retold by educationist and social reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, it pre-dates Indias First War of Independence. For generations, these stories have entertained as well as intrigued. They have been read and retold numerous times and yet have remained relevant. In the world of today, globalised yet divided, advanced yet insecure, they continue to be so. This is because they contain revelations of human nature as well as socio-political events, and can help the governance of countries as well as everyday conduct. Remaining loyal to the Sanskrit sources, here the author has both abridged and expanded the Vikram and Vetal lore prevalent in India. ***
Kadambari
Bana is among the three most important prose writers in classical Sanskrit, all of whom lived in the late sixth and early seventh centuries AD. It is clear, from his writings, that his mind was amazingly modern, humane and sensitive, especially for the seventh-century India in which he lived. Bana had a healthy irreverence towards many of the established orthodoxies of his time and his strength lies in his skill as a storyteller and as a creator of characters vibrant with life and individuality. Kadambari is a lyrical prose romance that narrates the love story of Kadambari, a Gandharva princess, and Chandrapida, a prince who is eventually revealed to be the moon god. Acclaimed as a great literary work, it is replete with eloquent descriptions of palaces, forests, mountains, gardens, sunrises and sunsets and love in separation and fulfillment. Featuring an intriguing parrot-narrator, the story progresses as a delightful romantic thriller played out in the magical realms between this world and the other, in which the earthly and the divine blend in idyllic splendour.
