Kalidasa's play about the love of King Dusyanta for Sakuntala, a monastic girl, is the supreme work of Sanskrit drama by its greatest poet and playwright (c.4th century CE). Overwhelmingly erotic in tone and in performance, The Recognition of Sakuntala aimed to produce an experience of aesthetic rapture in the audience, comparable to certain types of mystical experience. The pioneering English translation of Sakuntala in 1789 caused a sensation among European composers and writers (including Goethe), and it continues to be performed around the world. This vibrant new verse translation includes the famous version of the story from the Mahabharata, a poetic and dramatic text in its own right and a likely source for Kalidasa. The introduction discusses the play in the aesthetic and cultural context of ancient India.

Kalidasa is a major poet and dramatist of classical Sanskrit literature. His poem, 'Meghadutam' (The Cloud Messenger) tells of a divine being, punished for failing in his duties with a years' separation from his beloved. His other works included in this title are the play 'Sakuntala' and the poem 'Rtusamharam' (The Gathering of the Seasons).

Product Description: Work based around Hindu mythology and philosophy from the famous Sanskrit poet and dramatist also known as Kavikulaguru (Preceptor of All Poets).
