Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Kathasaritsagara - the ocean of stories - is among the world's great story collections, truly an ocean that carries the reader on its gentle swell to shores far and near, to places known and imagined, to people familiar and strange. Drawing from earlier collections of tales, the Kathasaritsagara was composed in Sanskrit by Somadeva in eleventh-century Kashmir. In a period and a language still largely dominated by religious texts, the Kathasaritsagara is a breath of fresh air. No set of beliefs dominates, no sacred texts are glorified - what it revels in most is the pulsating carnival of human life and experience. Priests and monks, gamblers and courtesans, kings and bandits, merchants and housewives, talking animals, divine and demonic beings - all cavort through its pages, in cities and forests, across seas and on islands. And in Arshia Sattar's masterful translation, the many universes of adventure the Kathasaritsagara holds within itself come alive for a new generation of readers.…

Somadewas Kathasaritsagara oder Ozean der Märchenströme. Erste vollständige Ausgabe in 6 Bänden, herausg. von Albert Wesselski. Band I (mehr nicht erschienen). Facsimile Reprint der Ausgabe Morawe & Scheffelt, Berlin 1914/1915.- Hardcover Leinen, mit SU, sauberes frisches Exemplar. 380 S. isbn 3487062917 - Kathasaritsagara "ocean of the streams of stories") is a famous 11th-century collection of Indian legends, fairy tales and folk tales as retold by a Saivite Brahmin named Somadeva. Nothing is known about the author other than that his father's name was Ramadevabatta. The work was compiled for the entertainment of the queen Suryamati, wife of king Anantadeva of Kashmir (r. 1063-81). It consists of 18 books of 124 chapters and more than 21,000 verses in addition to prose sections. The principal tale is the narrative of the adventures of Naravahanadatta, son of the legendary king Udayana. A large number of tales are built around this central story, making it the largest existing collection of Indian tales. It notably also contains recensions of the Panchatantra in Book 10; and the Veta-lapañcavim.s'ati, or Baital Pachisi, in Book 12. The Katha-sarit-sagara is generally believed to derive from Gunadhya's Brhat-katha, written in Paisachi dialect from the south of India. But the Kashmirian Brhat-katha from which Somadeva took inspiration may be quite different from the Paisachi one as there were two versions of the Brhat-katha extant in Kashmir, as well as the related Brhatkatha-sloka-samgraha of Buddhasvamin from Nepal. Like the Panchatantra, tales from this (or its main source book the Brhat-katha) travelled to many parts of the world. The only complete translation into English[1] is by C. H. Tawney (1837-1922), published in two volumes (1300 pages in all) in 1880. This was greatly expanded, with additional notes and remarks comparing stories from different cultures, by N. M. Penzer, and published in ten volumes ("privately printed for subscribers only") in 1924. Another translation was to be published in seven volumes by the Clay Sanskrit Library, translated by Sir James Mallinson, but it published only two volumes, reaching up to canto 6.8, before the publisher ended operations (Wikipedia).…
