Beschreibung:
Dominique Wohlschlag is an expert in medieval romance languages and a former Latin lecturer at the Collège de Genève. He has a long career in Indian studies, teaching courses on Sanskrit and on Indian Civilisation at a number of Swiss institutions, as well as collaborating with the Geneva Ethnography Museum. He has published three translations of Indian poets (Jayadeva, Bhartrihari, Vidyâkara) and several interpretative studies on the Hindu scriptures.
This accessible yet rigorous collection of essays gives an authentic introduction to the greatest of Indian epic poems, the Mahäbhärata. Individual chapters on its major themes and symbolic dimensions will be appreciated by laymen and scholars alike, as they give keys to the meaning and universal relevance of the work. The author has brought together his knowledge of the West and his direct access to Indian traditional commentaries into a collection of essays which is at once refreshing and compelling.
