Description
The Pancatantra—one of the oldest and most widely translated works of narrative fiction in world literature, from which Aesop's Fables, the Arabian Nights, and countless other collections draw their deepest inspiration—is presented here in an authoritative, accessible Penguin edition that makes this essential treasury of Indian narrative wisdom available to every contemporary reader. Essential reading for every student of world literature and every person who wants to encounter the original source of so much of the storytelling tradition that followed it. A foundational classic.
