History of India, in Nine Volumes: Vol. I - From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century B.C.

By: Romesh C. Dutt

The waves of Hindu conquests rolled onwards, and the aborigines submitted themselves to a higher civilization and a nobler creed. Rivers were crossed, forests were cleared, lands were reclaimed, wide wastes were people, and new countries hitherto aboriginal witnessed the rise of Hindu power and of Hindu religion. Where a few scanty settlers had penetrated at first, powerful colonies grew; where religious teachers had retired in seclusion, quiet villages and towns arose. Where a handful of merchants has made their way by some unknown river, boats plied up and down with valuable cargoes for a civilized population. from Chapter XVIII: Expansion of the Hindus First published in 1906, this classic nine-volume history of the nation of India places it among the storied lands of antiquity, alongside Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. Edited by American academic ABRAHAM VALENTINE WILLIAMS JACKSON (18621937), professor of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University, it offers a highly readable narrative of the Indian people and culture through to the time of its publication, when the nation was still part of the British Empire. Volume I, From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century B.C., by Bengali historian ROMESH CHUNDER DUTT (18481909), features entertaining and enlightening treatments of: [ ancient India and the Rig-Veda [ the Indo-Aryans and their literature [ food and art in the Vedic age [ the Brahmanic period and literature [ the Mahabharata [ the Ramayana [ law, astronomy, and learning [ the religious doctrines of the Upanishads [ caste in the age of laws and philosophy [ Buddhist sacred literature [ life of Gautama Buddha [ and much more. This beautiful replica of the 1906 first editionincludes all the original illustrations.

The MahaBharata

By: Romesh C. Dutt

Ancient India, like ancient Greece boasts of two great Epics. One of them, the Maha-bharata, relates to a great war in which all the warlike races of Northern India took a share, and may therefore be compared to the Iliad. The great war which is the subject of this Epic is believed to have been fought in the thirteenth or fourteenth century before Christ. The war thus became the centre of a cycle of legends, songs, and poems in ancient India, the vast mass of legends and poetry, accumulated during centuries, was cast in a narrative form and formed the Epic of the Great Bharata nation, and therefore called the Maha-bharata. The real facts of the war had been obliterated by age, legendary heroes had become the principal actors, and, as is invariably the case in India, the thread of a high moral purpose, of the triumph of virtue and the subjugation of vice, was woven into the fabric of the great Epic.

The Ramayana: Condensed Translation

By: Romesh C. Dutt

In this timeless epic of ancient India, Lord Rama, the heroic fighter and incarnation of the god Vishnu, fights to rescue his great love SITA from the clutches of the evil King Ravenna. Enlisting in his aid the monkey-faced god HANUMAN, the resulting tale unfolds like the greatest sagas of the ancient world, full of pitched battles, magic, mysticism, mystery and wonder. A timeless tale, condensed from the sacred writings of the Hindu faith, retold here in poetic English verse by Romesh C. Dutt. A deathless classic for all time to come.

Arabian Nights, in 16 volumes

Volume VIII

By: Romesh C. Dutt

Notorious for the delight he took in tweaking the sexual taboos of the Victorian age-as well as the delight he took in the resulting shock of his bashful peers-British adventurer, linguist, and author CAPTAIN SIR RICHARD FRANCIS BURTON (1821-1890) is perhaps best remembered for his unexpurgated translation of the Eastern classic The One Thousand and One Nights, more famously known today as The Arabian Nights. Originating in Persian, Indian, and Arabic sources as far back as the ninth century AD, this collection of bawdy tales-which Burton was the first to bring to English readers in uncensored form-has exerted incalculable influence on modern literature. It represents one of the earliest examples of a framing story, as young Shahrazad, under threat of execution by the King, postpones her death by regaling him with these wildly entertaining stories over the course of 1,001 nights. The stories themselves feature early instances of sexual humor, satire and parody, murder mystery, horror, and even science fiction. Burton's annotated 16-volume collection, as infamous as it is important, was first published between 1885 and 1888, and remains an entertainingly naughty read. Volume VIII includes: [ "King Mohammed Bin Sabaik and the Merchant Hasan" [ "Hassan of Bassorah" [ "Khalifah the Fisherman of Baghdad" [ "Masrur and Zayn Al-Mawasif" [ "Ali Nur Al-Din and Miriam the Girdle-Girl" [ and others.
