Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Tirukkural (honoured Kural) is one of the world's greatest literary and philosophical masterpieces. Composed in Tamil by Tiruvalluvar sometime between 2 BCE and 5 CE, its succinct couplets seek to explain and guide the reader through life's various situations: political, spiritual, domestic and social. Not much is known about Tiruvalluvar-he is believed to have been one or more of the following: a weaver, an ascetic, a teacher, a minister, a seafarer or even a king. What is indisputable, as Gopalkrishna Gandhi says in the preface, is that he was 'a clear thinker', 'a sharp observer of life' and 'a master of his language andcomplex poetic forms'. 'Kural', in Tamil, means 'short'. Each of the Tirukkural's 1,330 verses holds its meaning tightly, gives its message in something like telegraphese. Often called the universal book of principles, the work is organized into 133 chapters and three books. 'Book I: Being Good' is aimed at householders and sets out the principles of leading an ethical life. 'Book II: Being Politic' is a manual for rulers and statesmen on the qualities and duties of leaders, aspects of governance, military strategies, and methods to acquire wealth honestly. 'Book III: Being in Love' is a poetic exposition on love. It is presented from the points of view of both the man and the woman in different situations-from the moment of falling in love, through the pain of separation to the joy of reconciliation. Talking about our classics, the philosopher and statesman Dr S. Radhakrishnan said as they 'constitute the essential spirit of our culture, are a part of our very being, they should receive changing expression according to the needs and conditions of [a particular] time.' Gopalkrishna Gandhi's retelling of the Kural, in keeping with that philosophy, showcases the great beauty and wisdom of Tiruvalluvar's masterpiece for the twenty-first-century reader.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Written by the poet Thiruvalluvar, the Kamattu-p-pal is the third part of the Tirukkural one of the most important texts in Tamil literature. The most intimate section of this great work it is also, historically, the part that has been most heavily censored. Although hundreds of male translations of the text have been published, it has also only ever been translated by a woman once before. Tirukkural is award-winning writer Meena Kandasamy's luminous translation of the Kamattu-p-pal. Meena Kandasamy delves into this classic, and provides the first feminist interventionist translation into English-remaining true to the desire throbbing through the lifeblood of the text, while retaining the drama that pervades the quintessential Tamil world of exaggerated hurt, lover's quarrels and evenings lost to longing. With her trademark wit, lyricism and passionate insight, Meena weaves a magic spell: taking the reader on a journey through 250 kurals, organised under separate headings 'The Pleasure of Sex', 'Renouncing Shame', 'The Delights of Sulking' the result is a fresh, vital, and breath-taking translation that conveys powerful messages about female sensuality, agency, and desire. It is a revolution 2000 years in the making.…
