Akananuru (6 results)

Soft cover. Condition: As New. The Akananuru is the longest collection in the Tamil Sangam anthologies. It is one of the seminal works of classical India and contains poems that are among the finest ever written in India or anywhere else. The aim of this translation is to make the Akananuru accessible to readers who know English. It strives for scrupulous accuracy while keeping the felicity and poetic quality of the original. The Akananuru provides an account of the daily life of people of its times, one more detailed than any others that are available to us. Its poets were able to imbue virtually every poem with life by their striking use of images, their use of suggestion, their often uncanny sense of the feelings of the characters they portray, their intricate descriptions of flora and fauna, and their evocation of places, personages and events. Their use of imagery can be striking and sublime, but even more, their evocation of life 2000 years ago in all its aspects rings true. They left behind a world that lives and breathes, one that, through their poems, we can enter and experience as if it were our own.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The Akananuru is an anthology of four hundred long poems (12-30 lines) on love (akam) that belongs to the Eight Collections (ettuttokai) of the Classical Tamil Cankam corpus. Its first book, Kalirriyanainirai (Row of Bull Elephants), comprising the first one-hundred twenty poems, is here critically re-edited on the basis of the surviving eight manuscripts - among which five are fairly old palm-leaf copies -and of the numerous quotations found in the grammatical tradition. A special layout has been developed to allow the synoptic representation of both extant transmission strands. The edition is accompanied by an interlinear English version and by an annotated translation. The introduction (in English and in Tamil) discusses in detail the history of the text and the editing procedure. Volume 3 comprises an edition of the old commentary, a complete analytical concordance, a glossary and several indexes.
