This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Epic of India, Its Character and Origin The sub-title of this book places analysis before speculation. In recent studies of the great epic this order has been reversed, for a method calling itself synthesis has devoted itself chiefly to dwelling on epic uniformity, and has either discarded analysis altogether or made it subject to the results of "synthetic" speculation. The best way, of course, to take up the historical investigation of a literary product the origin of which is well known is to begin with the source and afterwards to study the character of the completed whole. But if the origin be unknown, and we wish to discover it, we must invert the process, and begin our study with an examination of the character of the work. When the results of our analysis become plain, we may group together those elements which appear to have existed from the first, and thus, on the basis of analysis, reconstruct the past. To begin with a synthesis (so called) of whatever is preserved in the product, and so to postulate for the beginning exactly what we find to be the completed whole, is a process that leads us only to the point from which we started. As vaguely incorrect as is the designation synthesis for the method so called is the method itself, which thus does away with all analysis. Analysis is an examination of constituents. As a method it is, like an other, obnoxious to error, but it is not on that account an erroneous method. It is in fact, as turned upon history, nothing but inevitable critique; and synthesis without such critique becomes merely the exploitation of individual opinion, which selects what pleases it and rejects, without visible cause, what is incompatible with the synthetic scheme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Indian Epics: The Stories of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata Where, for any reason, I have especially desired that an event recorded, or an Opinion expressed, in the epics should be reproduced without the possibility of misrepresentation on my part, I have thought it best to quote verbatim the translations of them made by Hindu scholars; although, unfortunately, their versions are by no means elegant, and, indeed, often quite the reverse. But as they, no doubt, reflect the structure and texture of the poems in a way that no more free or polished English rendering could possibly do, I fancy the citations I have made will not be un welcome to most readers. My book is divided into two distinct parts dealing separately with the Ramayana and the Maha bharata, and at the end of each part I have given, in the form of an Appendix, one or two of the more striking legendary episodes lavishly scattered through these famous epics, and which, though not essential for the comprehension of the main story, are too beautiful or important to be omitted. Of these episodes I should say that they are the best-known portions of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, having been told and retold in all the leading Indian vernaculars, and having, most of them, been brought before the European world in both prose and verse.

Book excerpt: Long age when this book first appeared in the opening year of the century the great Epic, Mahabharata had not been thoroughly examined to see what literature it reflected had not received a careful investigation from the metrical side its philosophy had been reviewed only in a most haphazard fashion and its relation to other epic poetry had been almost judgement on the question of the date and origin of the poem of which scholars knew as yet this poem of which scholars knew as yet scarcely more than that before a definitive answer could be given the whole huge structure must be studied from many points of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nala and Damayanti: A Love-Tale of East India, Done Out of the Sanskrit of the Mahābhārata, the Oldest Epic Poem of India Thus, once upon a time, the deed having been suited to the thought, a Sanskrit tale in poetry was transformed into English prose for child ren. Though it never reached those for whom it was intended, it did find an audience - among the grown-up members Of the community. And they have proved such willing listeners, that it seems better to address the story in its publish ed form to these alone. There are certain facts about the story, the Sanskrit language, and language in general, with which none but the specialist is likely to be familiar; and it is believed that the present reader will pardon the somewhat juvenile tone, in which they are told, in consideration of having these facts set before him with a brevity that he might not possibly encounter in a more dignified exposition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From the Indian Epics The favourable reception given by the Indian public to the "Indian Heroes" has led me to write a companion book. In the Indian Heroes I confined myself to the actual doings of the heroes themselves. In the "Tales from the Indian Epics" I have told a series of stories which are incidentally related in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Eight of the following stories will be found either in the Adi Parva or the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata. "The Descent of the Ganges" will be found in the Ramayana Balam Kandam. To these I have added the tenth story, "The Tale of the Pole Star," from the Shrimadbhagvat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
