Arnold, with his profound understanding and appreciation of Sanskrit literature, brings to life the epic's profound narratives, translating them with a lyrical grace that captures their essence while making them accessible to a Western audience.
In this volume, Arnold focuses on several key episodes, including the tales of Savitri and Nala and Damayanti, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Indian mythology and philosophy. His work goes beyond mere translation; it is an exploration of the themes of love, fate, and divine intervention, rendered with poetic sensitivity. Arnold's interpretations reflect his belief in the ancient origins of these stories, predating even Homer and Moses, and his respect for their enduring spiritual and cultural significance.
Indian Idylls is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of mythology, history, and literature, providing a window into the vast and complex world of Indian epic poetry and its timeless human themes.
