As Vikramaditya carries the corpse of the mischievous Vetala, he is presented with a series of captivating narratives that explore the consequences of unchecked ambition, the transformative power of true love, and the importance of ruling with justice. From the cautionary tale of a prince consumed by greed to the heartwarming story of a selfless merchant, each encounter serves as a mirror reflecting the potential pitfalls and triumphs that lie within the heart of every ruler. Through the Vetala's captivating narratives, Vikramaditya grapples with profound questions: Can true happiness be attained through the accumulation of wealth, or does it lie in a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around them?

This captivating saga is not merely a collection of fantastical tales; it is a profound exploration of human nature, leadership, and the enduring power of moral choices. As Vikramaditya navigates these intricate moral dilemmas, he undergoes a transformative journey that shapes his understanding of kingship and paves the way for a reign guided by wisdom and compassion. Join King Vikramaditya on this unforgettable adventure, where the lines between fantasy and reality blur, and the lessons learned resonate far beyond the pages of this timeless epic. Discover how the Vetala's tales not only shape the king's destiny but also offer valuable insights into the complexities of human nature and the path towards a just and prosperous society.
Book Synopsis Vikram & the Vampire (Improvised Edition) by : Pradeep Thakur
Download or read book Vikram & the Vampire (Improvised Edition) written by Pradeep Thakur and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, enjoy the improvised edtion of VIKRAM & THE VAMPIRE. It is an abridged collection of the 11 most entertaining tales and legends of "Vetala Panchavimshati". It is the series of spellbinding stories told to the wise King Vikramaditya by the wily ghost Vetaal., the Vampire. Sir Richard Burton abridged and translated and her wife Isabel Burton edited the original Sanskrit works. It was first published by Kama Shastra Society of London-Benares; for private circulation only in 1870. No doubt Bruton was fascinated by Sanskrit as were other open-minded free thinkers since India was colonised by England at the beginning of the 17th-century. He explained the terms as he conceived, half or full or none. So, Pradeep Thakur has completely replaced the Footnotes, with a detailed glossary. The Glossary goes full-length of about 200 pages; with great detail and all possible information to each term, so it could be critically analysed and be understandable in true sense.

The emperor begs the spirit for his help against a mighty necromancer and is told in return twenty-four tales, each of which presents a situation he might face as a king and culminates in a riddle that he must solve. With each answer, Vikramaditya displays his deep wisdom, proving himself to be the ideal monarch and winning, in the twenty-fifth tale, the guidance he needs from the vetala to destroy his powerful enemy. Written down in medieval times but inspired by an oral tradition stretching back centuries, these wise and witty tales rank amongst the great masterpieces of Sanskrit literature.

Book Synopsis 50 Stories and Legends About VAMPIRES by : Robert J Dornan
Download or read book 50 Stories and Legends About VAMPIRES written by Robert J Dornan and published by Robert J Dornan. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vampires have haunted the human imagination for centuries, crossing borders, cultures, and eras with their shadowy presence. From the icy mountains of Eastern Europe to the sun-scorched plains of Africa, every culture has its own version of the undead—each more terrifying than the last. Yet, no matter where these legends arise, they all share a common thread: the fear of what lurks beyond death, and the horror of those who refuse to stay in their graves. The vampire’s shape may change with geography, but its hunger for life, for blood, remains eerily the same. In 50 Stories and Legends About VAMPIRES, you’ll uncover the vastly different depictions of vampires, from the seductive aristocrats of Western lore to the ghastly, shape-shifting creatures of Asian mythology. Some vampires seek eternal power, others mindless destruction. Some hide in plain sight, while others skulk in dark forests and forgotten ruins. As these stories unfold, they reveal not just creatures of the night, but profound reflections of the societies that fear them. In many cultures, vampires serve as metaphors for the breakdown of moral order or the consequences of forbidden desires—invoking not just terror but also deep moral lessons. This journey through 50 legends will guide you into the heart of humanity’s most primal fears: the fear of death, the fear of losing one’s soul, and the fear that evil may outlive the innocent. Prepare yourself, for these are not merely stories of ghouls and specters—they are reminders that the line between the living and the dead is far more fragile than we dare imagine.

Book Synopsis Indian Short Story: A Critical Evaluation by : Dipak Giri
Download or read book Indian Short Story: A Critical Evaluation written by Dipak Giri and published by Malik and Sons. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a literary genre, Indian short story, next to poetry, is the most popular and accepted form of literature for its variety and nuance of Indian experience. Evolving over time, it has gained wide currency among people. Even after its recourse to traditional rules of the craft, Indian short story amazingly presents itself an original and distinctive form of art. Developed out of contemporary native literature and western storytelling technique, Indian short story presents an amalgation of two different literary traditions which has become unique and distinctive in course of time and long been catering to the taste of people. Ever since its origin, it has already witnessed a plethora of Indian writers who have made significant contributions to this genre by encapsulating the essence of Indian life and culture. They are Rabindranath Tagore, Munshi Premchand, R.K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, Ismat Chughtai, Ruskin Bond, Khushwant Singh, Saadat Hasan Manto, Ashapurna Devi, Jhumpa Lahiri, Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Anita Nair, Qurratulain Hyder, Namita Gokhale, Madhulika Liddle , just to name a few. At present Indian short story has taken a wider form, much more than earlier and almost every writer has started trying her or his hand at this field that it is too difficult for one to sum up the whole in one singular work. Still this present book is an endeavour to compile the works of major Indian short story writers in a short but comprehensive way in order to supply the best possible materials to readers, writers, academics, scholars and students who wish to do further studies in this field. There are twenty six chapters in this book which together presents a rich tapestry of this genre. Hopefully this book will march towards many unexplored realms exciting many curious minds, restarting many fruitful dialogues and invigorating many fresh and new ideas among academics, scholars and students alike.
