Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: Introductory. 1. Research In Indian History :The Value Of Literature. Chapter 1 South India A Distinct Entity. Chapter 2 Mauryan Invasion Of South India. Chapter 3 The Dawn Of The Christian Era. Chapter 4. Chronology Of Tamil Litrature. Chapter 5 The Age Of Paranar. Chapter 6.Talaiyalangnat-Tup-Pandyan. Chapter 7 Astronomical Considerations. Appendix To Chapter 7 - Astronomical Considerations. Conclusion. The book makes a detailed study of the Beginnings of the South Indian History based on the literary sources in Tamil classics and poets who contributed much to the history of the region beginning with the advent of the Christian era. The research sources for this study has been analysed from the view point of Greek, Chinese, Arabian travelogues, archeological inputs and epigraphical sources. The input from literary sources in Sanskrit, Tamil, Kanarese and Telugu have been amply exemplified in the introduction. The chronology of the Tamil classics have been made helpful in assessing the historical aspects of the period from advent of Christian era and the related history of the period. How the rulers and chieftains had been the source for the successful growth of the Tamil Sangam have been applauded in the chronology. The advent of the Astronomical data elicited from the Tamil literary classics are an important addendum to these lectures and the inadvertant errors in eliciting them have been amply discussed. In the last chapter the geneology of the Pandyan Kingdom have been discussed and how the literary, archeological and epigraphical sources have been helpful in reaching at this historical research. The chronology of literature takes us to the different kind of tamil literary sources like factual presentation of history like description of wars between different chieftains and legendary praise for these chieftains and their valour in these wars. The second set of literature is the imaginary literary sources which paid scant details to the historical details of the personalities and war and they were purely literary pieces rendered by poets of the time. This age gives us, as far as we know, the conditions most favourable, to the institution of the famous Tamil Academy and all the available evidence goes to support this particular inference The chapters on Age of Paranar and Talainganatu Pandyan are excellent pieces used to trace the history of the Tamils by evaluating the different Tamil classics prevalent and available from the Sangam Age. More controversies in historical studies have been evolved from these observations of the author from the contemporary scholars. The monumental works by Kanaka Sabhai Pillai, Swaminatha Iyer and Venkayya has been amply detailed and how they have been helpful in reaching a reasonable date for the Tamil classics. The chronology of Tamil literature has been very critically analysed based on the Astronomical Data as presented by Swamikannu Pillai and how his assessment of the dates of Silapaddikaram and Manimekalai and other Tamil classics are in the wrong track are the highlights of this chapter. The appendix lays bare open the fallacies of his assumption. The various lectures given by the Author at the Madras University forms the basis for this important historical research study.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface. Introduction. Supplement.Manimekhalai ; The Poem. Manimekhalai Its Historical Character. Manimekhalai Historical Conclusions. Manimekhalai Its Philosophical Systems. Manimekhalai Other Views On The Above. Appendix. Prologue. Translation of the text Manimekhalai from Book 1 to Book 30. The classics Manimekhalai and its Twin Silappadhikaram formed the part of the study in connection with the Age of Tamil Sangam. The contents of this research was published in separate forms as Age of Tamil Literature, contained material taken from Silappadhikaram and Manimekhalai. .The translation of Manimekhalai, chapter by chapter brings to the fore the different philosophical systems that existed at the time of Sangam age, the historical personalities existing at their time, the cream of Buddhist Philosophy, and the activity and life in general at the time of Sangam age. New discussions and availability of new material led to the Translation of the whole of the classic to the lay reader of the narrative and setting to the reader unacquainted with Tamil. The author S Krishnaswamy Aiyengar, have omitted no material point and even attempted to keep the tone of the original. This study of Manimekhalai was presented as a special lecture on south Indian History in the Madras University earlier by the author. The author in these lectures have attempted to consider the question of the position of Manimekhalai among the Tamil classics. This investigation and enquiry into the Tamil literary work leads to the conclusion that it is a work of classic excellence in Tamil literature and is to regarded as a Sangam work in that sense. The investigation further support in the contents of the twin epics Silappadhikaram -Manimekhalai. The investigation has led to the intimate connection between the Silappadhikaram and Manimekhalai in itself as literary works of the same age, a single tradition of and of similar atmosphere, same literary character as Sangam works The main purpose of this thesis has been to consider the philosophical systems and the religious condition in the country as described in Manimekhalai throw upon the important question of the age of the work and Sangam literature generally. During the course of the study, it is found that Manimekhalai discusses the various schools of Philosophy with orthodox professors , the tenets of particular systems and the authoritative works to learn what they teach. She discusses the five separate systems and their philosophy. At the end of the book the summing up of the totality of the systems she attempted to learn she included these five as one. Further she ends up combining the teaching of Ajivaka and Nirgrantha as one and the same.…

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. A master of observation and gentle wit, R.K. Narayan brings to life the fictional town of Malgudi in South India, making it as real to readers as any actual location. This volume features three quintessential Malgudi novels: Swami and Friends, The Bachelor of Arts, and The Vendor of Sweets. The first, published in 1935, follows ten-year-old Swaminathan and his friends Rajam and Mani on their adventures, earning praise from Graham Greene as a "novel in ten thousand." The second novel, The Bachelor of Arts, delves into the mind of Chandran, a college student who falls in love and must leave Malgudi to find resolution to his emotional turmoil. The Vendor of Sweets presents a generational clash between Jagan, a widower committed to Gandhian values, and his modern son Mali, who returns with a half-American wife and ambitious plans for selling story-writing machines. This collection, part of Penguin India's series of collectors' editions, includes an introduction by S. Krishnan and is sure to captivate both new readers and long-time fans of Narayan.…
