nové vydání klasické anglické četby The Pancatantra is the most famous collection of fables in India
and was one of the earliest Indian books to be translated into Western
languages. No other Indian work has had a greater influence on world
literature, and no other collection of stories has become as popular in
India itself. A significant influence on the Arabian Nights and the Fables of La Fontaine, the Pancatantra
teaches the principles of good government and public policy through the
medium of animal stories. Its positive attitude towards life and its
advocacy of ambition, enterprise, and drive counters any preconception
of
passivity and other-worldliness in ancient Indian society.
Patrick Olivelle presents the Pancatantra
in all its complexity and rich ambivalence, examining central elements
of political and moral philosophy alongside the many controversial
issues surrounding its history, including its numerous versions and
translations, and the reconstruction of the original text by Franklin
Edgerton. This new translation vividly reveals the story-telling powers
of the original author, while detailed notes illuminate aspects of
ancient Indian society and religion to the non-specialist reader.
