《迦腻色伽去吃午餐:来自神秘印度的经典作品(真/零售电子书EPUB)》
King Kubera was the greediest man in the world. Hated and feared by many, he schemed to win the love of the beautiful goddess Parvati . . . but learned an important lesson when he invited her elephant-headed son Ganesha over for lunch one day . . .
So goes one of the many delightful tales in this decidedly grown-up book of traditional Indian stories, retold for the modern reader. Author Kamla Kapur is well known in her native India as a poet and playwright, and her connection to these age-old stories is the reverent yet individualistic one we might expect from someone whose introduction tells of her hometown, where naked, dreadlocked holy men speed about on motorbikes.
To collect these stories, Kapur relied on ancient sacred texts, modern scholarship, and chance encounters with interesting people who just happened to know a really good one about this time that Vishnu sank into the ocean, was incarnated as a pig, and had a really wonderful time. Like myths around the world, these are teaching stories that offer both a window into a fascinating culture that has endured for thousands of years, and a code for living that can be applied to the modern world.
克鲁耶国王是世界上最贪婪的人。他被很多人憎恨和恐惧,为了赢得美丽的帕瓦蒂女神的爱,他策划了很多阴谋……但有一天当他邀请她的儿子迦奴希(拥有象头)来吃饭时,他懂得了一个重要的教训…… 这是这部以印度传统故事为蓝本、改编给现代读者阅读的书中众多有趣的故事之一。作者卡姆拉·卡普在自己的祖国印度作为一名诗人和剧作家而知名,并且她与这些古老的故事情节之间的联系正像我们从其介绍中所期待的一样,这位介绍中提到她的家乡有着骑着摩托车到处游荡、光身子、留有辫发的圣人。 为了收集这些故事,卡普依赖于古代神圣文本、现代研究以及偶然间遇到的一些有趣的人们,他们刚好知道关于毗湿奴沉入海洋这一时间的神话,他变成了一只猪,并且过得很愉快。就像世界各处的神话一样,它们是寓言故事,既为我们展示了千年以来一直存在且令人着迷的文化提供了一个窗口,同时也提供了可应用于现代世界的生存指南。
